Have you bought a Nestle product? Is so you support child slavery.

By your logic:

> You absolutely support their practices by doing business with them.

Life is not black and white.

If Nestle is engaging in child slavery and you buy their products then yes you obviously are supporting child slavery through indirect material cooperation. Behaving morally isn't easy, which is why it's so rare.

I try to avoid Nestlé products and would not enter into a major business relationship with them if I had the choice. The extent to which I decided to entangle my life or business of theirs would change the degree to which I felt like I’d be supporting their business practices. I agree, it’s not black and white, but I don’t understand how you can say a company doesn’t support Epic’s business practices when they choose to accept their money and help expand their share of the marketplace they operate in.

This seems like a pretty cut and dry example though. It’s a direct financial relationship where Epic profits off of Supergiants games. That money is support. It allows Epic to propagate their views and business model.

Whether or not you choose to adapt your purchasing decisions based on this knowledge is a separate question of your ethics and other factors.
