Just found out that the person who makes my favourite pen inks is a total cooker and raging racist. (hexbear.net)

Noodlers ink btw.

Doing more writing by hand lately and was looking at some new ink. Now I've got to find other achivist ink cause I'm sure as hell not giving money to someone who dogwhistles about "western civilisation" and brands with that racist's flag from the usa.

Sigh. I just liked the green.

Man, how many choices do we make everyday without ever knowing what's behind these actions,doing a simple thing like buying groceries, Flores, or in this case an ink can result in giving money to the wrong corporate or business.

It's basically impossible to know who we help and I do think an obsession with purity is counterproductive. Effort would better go towards systemic change.

Still if you can buy your potatoes from farmer McGee who's just a guy and farmer hitlerdiedtoosoon and you go with the latter you're a bit fucked in the head.

I can't know which of the 3 megacorps that own all my groceries has the worst shareholders but I can avoid buying ink from someone that thinks Rome was a high watermark and slavery is good actually.
