      Not only that, actively consume products and blame the creators of the products for the consequences.

        I don’t know, if you actively are reducing your shopping from amazon and try to stay away from their products, I wouldn’t call you a hypocrite for criticising them. And many people now a days are doing just that, so you can’t really assume right from the start that a person is being hypocritical.

          Amazon is a seller, they don’t manufacture almost anything, but that’s beside the point. It’s not about the individual. I can blame either BP for drilling for oil, or the millions of people who refuse to:

          • drive an EV
          • ordering the more expensive but locally manufactured products that don’t need that much transportation
          • vote for walkable cities and public transportation
          • simply consume less stuff

          That would require introspection, and maybe accepting responsibility. It’s easier to live in a world that the BP’s CEO is the bad one and me and all of my friends are blameless victims.

          Billionaires can only burn so much oil with their private planes and yachts, they don’t consume 100 million barrels per day.
