How do I ethically consume under capitalism? Being vegan is right now one of the only ways I’m being ethical, and that doesn’t yet include buying products that have not been tested on animals. I worry sometimes.

    Sure there is no ethical consume under capitalism. However, choices matter! It makes a difference if you by your stuff at amazon or in (small) local stores. If you buy chocolate, you have to look for trustful certificates/companies who do not exploit children. If you buy electronics, look out for fairer electronics. You can look for local agricultural cooperatives/commjnity-supported agriculture where you can buy your vegetables. Of course, conditionally that you have the financial capacities.
