The NBA is not The West; and, corporations will continue to add value for their shareholders first and foremost. I'll buy you a beer when people start boycotting iPhones and the Houston Rockets. I mean i get the apathetism. But I'm more curious about if you have any solutions or ideas to suggest. Or is it only apathetism?

In the this context it's more, IMO, hedonism mixed with a bit of NIMBY thinking. Altruism, ideals, and protests are cool and all. But you have to get the populace, consumers, or market to take the journey with you. Change will happen when the price is right. Or, you fight sovereignty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OverSword Posted October 10, 2019 #28 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) If the west had one shred of integrity we would start imposing sanctions on China for human rights violations, but instead we suck up to them. We disgust me. Edited October 10, 2019 by OverSword 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another part of the problem is the mistaken thought that all cultures are equal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed this moral relativism too. It's okay to say another nation's ideology is wrong. In fact it is what you must do if you believe in your values and want the world to be a better place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
