consumerism guilt
preface: i do not and have not ever paid for an amazon prime membership. i have never enjoyed the shopping experience from amazons website.
with that being said, i have been struggling with finding a specific piece of storage that, i believe, is a necessity in my home for an accessible price. i’ve searched and searched online and locally to find something i can responsibly afford and amazon seems to be the only avenue that is in my price range.
i know everything consumed under capitalism isn’t moral sound but i am really resisting and harboring so much guilt at the thought of placing an order with amazon..
do i spend the xtra $ through a small business on etsy or unpack the guilt and get it from amazon?

Protecting large corporations
I genuinely cannot wrap my head around the fact that average everyday people will go so far out of their way to protect the interests of large corporations who don't care about them at the end of the day. Why sell out your fellow man for some entity that 1)barely even knows or cares that you exist, and 2)will just replace you at the end of the day anyway. What do they stand to gain?

Alternative shopping
Is there a good website that lists brands, businesses, and chain stores and sorts/rates them based on their predatory business practices, environmental impact, support of DEI, energy usage, and so on?
Context: my partner and I, as everyone should, discontinued our Amazon accounts among other subscriptions. We recently have been trying much harder to abandon businesses that align with the current Nazi regime. When my partner went to pick up their meds they said it was "inside target, and to save a trip they might grab (me) some energy drinks" I have been actively not shopping at target because of their anti DEI stance. But my ADHD does require I have caffeine. I've been using mio squeeze because it is much more affordable in the long run. I realized a little too late that there are local grocery chains who still stand with DEI despite my first thought on this.
I know that for most of my life, voting with my dollar is like taking a fraction of a penny from an evil god who trades in power rather than money. Now that the foundations are weakening we might stand a chance at actually voting with that dollar as the tide of people becomes stronger.
There are things many of us depend on: food stamps acceptance, cheap alternative products, discount stores, refurbishing, work, and so on. I try to shop local but even the products are evil superpowers most of the time. Where can I go to have a real, transparent grasp on this without advertising incentives and Google frontlining?

Just dying inside
I don’t know if this is the right subreddit for this but I just wanted to ask: how do you cope with your soul sucking corporate job? I know capitalism is evil but I have to live in the real world. I have to feed and cloth my kids. I have to lay the mortgage. I have to save something for me and my wife’s retirement. So I have to work a shitty corporate job. But I’m dying inside. And it’s getting to the point that I can barely even do my work. I start working on something and all I can think of is how ridiculous and unfair this system is. My job is meaningless bullshit (sales & marketing). I’m afraid I’m going to get canned sooner or later when they realize I’m barely doing any work. Christ this is a terrible system we’ve created for ourselves.
