Do you think it is ethically ok to buy an item that is made by a company/person who you think is morally bad if you buy the item used?

Yes, you’re not giving the unethical company money and you’re keeping an item from going into a landfill

one of my favorite pairs of jeans is a pair i thrifted after someone bought it off shein and IMMEDIATELY donated it the jeans were so new the dye stained one of my sisters white tank tops my only problem with thrifting stuff from shein and similar companies is that there’s still the possibility that the design is stolen; even if the company doesnt make money from your purchase, the designer loses out because you’re buying the design from someone else

Do you think it changes if the item is a very visibly branded one? Like a shirt with the company logo across the chest or a very large purchase like a car?
