The Microsoft-BDS shit, the staff promoting buying Microsoft products aside, shows how they don't actually believe their own rhetoric.

Because from their point of view if somebody says you to Microsoft does business in Israel so we need to not use any of their products, the proper response would be "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism."

Every company does business with Israel just like every company does business with China. That's the entire point of global capitalism. Sorry, if your ethics are absolute perfection in every spot of the supply chain for every single product on Earth, then no, you cannot use anything. You can't even read this post because fossil fuels are the main source of electricity for the entire planet. Solar power? Only operates with fossil fuel backups to maintain a constant load in the system. Unless you're literally off the grid, you're complicit.

Which means, just like with all other instances where they chant that for no clear reason, you're absolved from guilt. You can't pick or choose because I can do this for literally any "ethical" company you bring me. Any business that relies on any form of manufacturing? Oops, sorry, not ethical. Relies on financing? Oops, global finance is definitely not ethical under your system. Owns property? Wow, really not ethical.

You're the one who has adopted an uncompromising rigid ethical nihilism, it's not on me to adhere to standards that are literally impossible to meet you fucking morons. Abandon the impossible ethics, not keep trying to make up excuses for why you're allowed to not follow them this time.
