Because that isn't the point.

You can do your best to consume ethically, but at the end of the day, you're going to end up exploiting someone under capitalism.

You shouldn't beat yourself up about the inherently exploitative system thrust upon you.

I mean yeah I get that you're never going to find products that are 100% ethically made (which is probably literally impossible to do so long as human beings are alive and making things), but buying paint at the local art supply store instead of Hobby Lobby is still objectively better.

I remember a very early Twitter exchange from like a decade ago where some guy who literally had a neckbeard and a fedora as their profile picture was yelling about something and a woman in the comments went 'the free market has spoken, bitch' or something. I still think about it sometimes because it's really true and the people that are mega (internet) libertarians fail to apply the same logic about themselves as they do to literally everything else.

Unless you live a subsistence lifestyle in the woods and wipe your rear end with leaves you are exploiting someone.

And in that case you aren't even helping others, just leading a morally neutral existence.

The only thing you can ethically consume under capitalism is a bullet.

The way I interpret it is that it's a criticism of people who think that capitalism is totally fine because you can always just choose to consume ethically. No need to fix the underlying problems because my coffee is fair trade!

On some things. Before weed really started taking off, you were giving drug money to terrorists. Didn't matter if your dealer was an 80 year old hippy with his crop in the forest and routinely gave money to charities, he was a terrorist.

Now we're totally balls deep in trendy weed bullshit and its profits are going to economic terrorists, investors.

I'm reminded of the owner of Patagonia (I think) who said he thought there would be great value in demonstrating to people & other corps that yes, it is in fact possible to make a very profitable business while adhering to responsible & "sustainable" practices. (He doesn't personally like the term, considers it misleading)

But it turned out that the only result was them going "uh ok but I can make EVEN MORE by NOT doing those things?? So there's literally no conceivable reason to do any of it?" Because it turns out they're really just predatory hoarders who have one too many heads each.

Well they did partner with that dancing old man to take down Six Flags a couple pegs.

Has anyone seen a happy, dancing old man in Austria recently?



And this makes me feel happily justified for buying their garbage album twenty years ago. I knew that $10.99 investment at best buy would pay off with something eventually.

WASHINGTON — A move by House Democratic leaders to thwart party members from mounting primary challenges to incumbents, even in safe Democratic districts, could have the unintended consequence of arresting the party’s shift toward a more female and racially diverse caucus, one of its most striking achievements of the last election.

Eh, I'd say from past experiences 1 in 5 is about right for people stupid enough to flaunt that stuff. What they should do is an expose on spousal posts for the same. I imagine the ratio is much closer to 1 in 2.

I love how the far right nutjobs talk about any kind of gun control is a prelude to abolish the first amendment, and they immediately want to use the 2nd amendment to suppress the first as soon as people are speaking out about them. I used to listen to primary and secondary podcasts until one of the guys went waaaaay off the deep end talking about any gun control being an attack on free speech
