You are using technology. Technology uses lithium and cobalt from conflict zones and areas using slave labor.

You are a hypocrit.

No moral consumption means that it’s impossible to interact with this society without supporting some awful shit. It doesn’t mean do whatever lol doesn’t matter haha

Owning slaves wouldn’t count. That’s pretty direct harm.

Yeah, this misses the mark for sure. “No ethical consumption under capitalism” is the response to someone calling you a hypocrite for being critical of capitalism while still necessarily engaging in it. Which the OP is doing, as you pointed out.

The point is that just because there's no ethical consumption under capitalism doesn't mean we should drop all pretense of trying, because there are still levels of unethicality.
