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.
so in summary what you meant is the typical argument given my most people in the sense of “as this where we are is shit, there is no issue to do more shit”
from a teacher: “the school already used google that handles your data, there is no more issue to add discord”
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!
ok seriously tho, what does that phrase even mean?

Maybe the teacher or the classmate (i was not sure if was a teacher or a classmate) should be the person to receive the ‘thanks’ :))))))))))))))))))))
