Reddit can be a wonderful place full of great debate and jokes and a good time

And it can also be an absolute cesspool of scum and villainy

I've never seen a good debate on Reddit

I actually just had a couple in regards to Nestlé and other companies who use slave labor

A good debate is a diamond in the rough on this site, but they're so great when they happen

I can't imagine anyone defending Nestle honestly lol, congratulations to that devil's advocate

It wasn't about defending Nestlé. Someone made a comment that was akin to "well other companies use slave labor too" and it evolved into a very calm debate about the issues that run deep in this current political climate

We've had the same problems for over 10 years. When is it going to be more than just hot air on a social media platform?

This is actually a good question

I think the best course of action is if more people actually cared. If these companies saw a decline in profits due to the hate they get, things might be able to start to change,

The problem seems to be that people just don't care or are blissfully unaware

How do you even start a real boycott if millions of people don't care / are ignorant?

Shoutout to the stocker at a store back home who heard me tell me friend about Nestlé and started talking to us about it. More real world activism by those who type online would help, I think

BRB, gonna go spend $8 to become Nestlé
