I'm beginning to suspect that some core deontological programming is starting to cause significant bugs in ethical reasoning across the entire system.

I'm really struggling with the idea that the responsibility to correct for corporate evil resides with individuals, and that failing to do so constitutes some form of evil itself.

It would seem tantamount to castigating individuals for not recycling "enough" when the true cause of pollution lies with industry.

It would seem a way for capital to coerce the pro-human and anti-capital to tear each other apart, causing nothing but self-inflicted wounds.

Then again, blithe oblivion to whence one's resources come also seems irresponsible.

But like, I have work to do that is more important than choosing the least impure tool every goddamn day.

@mttaggart "struggling" really is the word. at this point I am overflowing with a seething resentment for the malefactors who have put us all into this constantly *impossible* position, every day deliberately moving us closer to direct complicity in the worst crimes in human history unless we all don a hair shirt and move to a cave, and I'm trying not to let it spill over to people who, when rationally analyzed, have roughly the same level of complicity in the whole thing as I do personally
