[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There is no ethical consumerism under capitalism. [/b] I thought this was generally established.

(I drink a ton of dairy.  Even though I buy locally and ethically sourced meat, the dairy industry is hopelessly intermingled with factory farmed beef, which aside from the cruelty to animals aspect is also a huge contributor to antibiotic resistance.)[/quote]

What said that?[/quote]

Thank you for asking -- I've seen it kicking around the internet and never really dug into the citation before.  I can't find a direct initial source, but I think this blog post: https://www.theparachutemedia.com/politics-activism/no-ethical-consumption-under-capitalism-shopping-habits-coralyn-maguigad and this Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/3gh73r/where_does_there_is_no_such_thing_as_ethical/ are interesting takes (although of course not exactly quality academic sources lol).  I definitely am unconvinced that there's ethical consumption under communism in the forms it currently functions in the world too.[/quote]
