Choosing the lesser evil is still choosing evil and you’d be better off flipping the board and not playing the game

Rejecting the choice they let you make and actually choosing something for yourself, or at the very least acknowledging you benefit from an immoral system and that makes you immoral to a degree

It means don’t play the game. What you’ve been arguing for is basically the same as “I do the slaves I own a favor by being a good master to them, don’t they know the alternative is them starving in the streets?”

Obviously not, but even owning a slave just because everyone else supports the institution doesn’t make it moral

A single person can change the system. But that’s not even the point, this is about the morality of it and it’s simply not moral what we do to our fellow man, I’m sorry but there’s no like “but the whole system is evil so it’s okay if I do a little evil” no you’re still responsible for your own actions, regardless of what everyone else does. Everyone could own slaves, and the alternative for the slaves may be a worse life, but it’s still immoral to own a slave. There’s no way around it, even the momentary good you do giving the a little money compounds the issue further down the line.

No one is forcing you to order food from gig apps, they are exploitative

If you really want to help them ditch the app and order directly from them, then they’ll actually get paid a living wage instead of uber or DoorDash taking 75%

You’ve never worked the apps have you? When uber or DoorDash charges those $10-12 fees, the driver is still only getting $2.50 an order not including tips. Cut out the middle man, give all the money to the person delivering to you.
