This is the crux of any analysis based on personal choice. It comes with the arrogant presumption that capitalism is based on consent.
Fine print fuckery is always a thing, how often do you see big bold 'Made in America!!! (with Canadian steel, assembled in Mexico)' or similar on packaging.
Made in Germany is my favorite (they named a district in China "Germany")
Ok, so continue to make the most immediately expedient choice for your personal circumstances with no regard for the wider impact of your actions and hope the Government will just elegantly and efficiently legislate our way out of our rapid and inevitable civilisational decline. It'll be great. We can just blame the corporations!
