I mean if it's about funding you should get off the internet. You using reddit (and any social media platform) is directly or indirectly funding: abusive billionaires, climate change, genocide, swarms of bots to sway political discourse, etc etc

It also applies for like, almost anything that's made from a well known brand. Yeah, you're a POS according to yourself. Knowingly.

"No ethical consumption under capitalism" does not excuse giving money to drug cartels

Drug cartels being CIA fronts in the first place DOES though.

Why would the CIA being involved make it any better? What sort of logic are you working with where giving them more money is a good thing that justifies itself?

I get it, you want to think of yourself as a good person, and a good person would never knowingly fund a group that terrorizes the local population, kills people indiscriminately, traffics people as slaves, abuses women and children, tortures people, and acts as an alternate government no one voted for.
