Perfection is the enemy of good.

Most consumerism is problematic and you can blame most people for something, just take your time and you will find something: Are you drinking milk? Are you eating meat? Do you drink beer or smoke cigarettes? Do you use Social Networks like Instagram, Facebook or TikTok? Do you buy stuff on Amazon? Do you use ChatGPT? Do you drive a car even though you could travel by foot, train, bus or bike? Do you watch soccer? Do you watch porn? Congratulations, you are probably supporting something shitty.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to change things. But offending people for doing some of these things never helped. It often just achieves the opposite. Try to encourage others, show them alternatives. Etc.

Finding alternatives isn’t hard tho. There’s like a plethora of magic school books from 2012 onwards. alerting people isnt the problematic thing while we are literally in a wold of countless options and claiming you can’t find any is just you being difficult and lazy.
