      Well capitalism as a system is built on the exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie. This exploitation is only further expanded worldwide as capitalism-imperialism grows even stronger as a hegemonic system. So no ethical consumption under capitalism is true, but people use that as an excuse to further do shitty things like eat meat even when they can stop.

          Yeah the Google-Discord analogy is a super good way of explaining it that would probs work best as a lot of people on Lemmy understand the privacy implications of closed software. Thanks for that one!
