The difference is that we're the ones getting fucked over instead of some randos in another country that we'll never see.

I don't know about that. There's not any real outcry over Nestle stealing water from California during a drought. Even if they were an American company they probably wouldn't make that list since nobody seems to care.

Trust me, Californians cared enough. At least in my community.

[(Anonymous)]

But the country as a whole didn't. The world as a whole didn't even when it was taking place around the world. And they're still allowed to operate in these places for some reason, and Nestle is still sold in California which means it's still bought.

[favoritebean]

I wondered if it got any coverage outside of California, honestly. The state is fighting back now.

I think water issues are fundamentally really complicated and boring and hard to care about if you're not in a given area

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, I was admittedly using vague terminology when I mentioned people in other countries, but it applies more locally too. If things are not directly affecting a person, their likelihood of actually caring is pretty small. EA's shenanigans directly affect the sorts of consumers that are internet savvy enough to vote for them as a shitty company in online polls. Consumers play these shitty games and feel ripped off, but how many people ACTUALLY felt the burn of Nestle stealing water except for some central valley farmers?

[(Anonymous)]

And there's the "shorts-sighted and ignorant" OP was talking about.

[(Anonymous)]

For me with Nestle I try to avoid buying from them but they own so many other brands that it's difficult and when I try to tell other people about it they just kind of roll their eyes like "no ethical consumption under late capitalism lol". And I don't know if calling my senators will have any more effect than a personal boycott. I care about Nestle and other awful companies but at this point I feel powerless to fight them tbh.
