Well of course, many would say not to buy into evil, but also of course it happens intentionally, accidentally, not knowingly, or no other reasonable choice given your at the moment circumstances to meet life's needs. It is also said love the sinner, hate the sin. How do you respond to these situations?
* Not donating to a political campaign because you don't agree with the candidate's politics.
* Sure you need to pay the IRS taxes what is due Ceaser, but you don't use nor pay user fees at national parks, or anything else with a user fee like a museum.
* With local school politics you don't morally agree with left side indoctrination of children in your locality. Got to pay taxes again, and due to money and time constraints, your kids go to the public schools. However, you can choose not to fund sports activities, attend drama events, or go to adult education classes, so not funding the school budget in that way.
* In other local county, town, or city politics, not use and paying per trip on public buses, not paying the grocery bag tax enriching some local government coffers, and not use public pools or recreational facilities with user fees.
* In shopping avoiding the modern versions of so called adult bookstore of yesteryear. En mass it had an effect last summer, the mass merchandise retailer selling transgender swimwear, and the nationwide drink company with a TV advertising model person which did not sit well with the working class and others which the company saw their sales plummet. Or if right down the street from you, a store of a national grocer based in San Francisco with higher prices, the city with a higher cost of living area having a liberal lifestyle, so you go into the store buying only or mostly items on sale so not to profit them.
* Do you hire for your landscaping and other manual labor jobs paying people hanging out outside the 7-11?
* Though Jesus and God calls to help the truly down and out, but what if you know giving charitably, you are funding bad behavior. Once came out of a Christian concert inside a city at night, when also a friend with me, a guy is yelling $4.29 which we figured out was the going price for a non sober drink then. Or you give food and money to a local food pantry knowing the demographics of their client base, and then you see the same people, some from South of the Border, having loud and lavish parties with a DJ and putting off fireworks in one or more local neighborhoods where they live, at least mentally disturbing other neighbors there.
Several examples here above. Other ones to discuss and debate?
