I think the main reason people don't give a damn provided they can get their
trendy little gadgets is the prevailing propaganda, which a) encourages
acquisition of wealth and status symbols above all else, b) vilifies the poor
for being 'lazy' or otherwise unworthy, c) denies the exploitative basis of all
employment, d) breeds ignorance among the working class, e) insists that all's
well.

I don't buy from Apple, but not because of their horrific working conditions.
Ultimately, 'ethical consumption' of this sort doesn't really bring about any
change, can't be done on a large scale, and ultimately cannot be implemented
consistently because literally thousands of people and dozens of companies were
involved in the production of even the smallest things. I don't buy from Apple
because I value my freedom in the computing arena.
