we shouldn't have let the internet have the phrase "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism"
#rambling#it means that an exploitative system cannot produce goods that aren't in some way funded by the exploitation of the people#and that we shouldn't let corpos and big companies wash their hands off selling ''ethically sourced'' products or green-washing their shit#and that we cannot truly have change happen unless we do something to stop capitalists and their influence#there may not be ethical consumption NOW but if we fight capitalism and its unethical production conditions WE CAN HAVE IT#but NOT by reflexively feeding the capitalist machine#IT DOESN'T MEAN you can just keep buying and supporting whatever you want regardless of its direct or indirect material damage on you#just because you now have this magical sentence to retort all criticisms with#''well there is no ethical consumption under capitalism so i will keep consuming things unethically''#why can't you instead go ''there is no ethical consumption under capitalism so i will do something about it even if small''#it's just mindless complacency with a glossy coat!! that's exactly what capitalists want!! AAAA!!!!#if i had a penny for every fucking person i've seen saying that shit about that stupid wizard game i myself would be a multimillionaire#like GROW A FUCKING SPINE#dear goddddddddddd#i'm UPSET!!!! >:c
