    Ha ha ha, I don't get the point, so I'll project my incomprehension with a comic.

      Nope. It’s you that aren’t comprehending that there’s no ethical consumption in capitalism and that there’s also no survival without consumption.

      Thus it’s literally impossible to live up to your imaginary standards of caring about workers without being a hypocrite.

      An argument that you’re making in bad faith, from ignorance, or both.

        Don’t you know, you can just go live off the grid and become completely self sustaining… Wait, how do you pay for your property taxes… Hm…

        I mean that guy is being an idiot, but it’s also not quite that simple. There is still more and less ethical consumption. A fairphone is more ethical than an iPhone, and pointing that out in good faith to someone complaining about Apple’s behavior seems entirely fair.

        It’s not a complete fallacy to point out that someone is consuming something less ethical when they have a better option. Obviously it’s impossible for anyone to do this with literally everything, but absolutely you can avoid Starbucks because of their treatment of unions, and frequent a local coffee shop instead.

        Granted this is mostly assuming two people having a good faith discussion, which on the internet is infrequent lol.
