    *There is no ethical consumption under whatever you wanna call the current mode of production

      I hate this response, as it implies all choices are equivalent.

      If I know a product is made with literal child slavery, it is still more ethical to avoid than product than to spout that platitude

        I think a better one is “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”

        Make the choices that are within your remit to control but cut yourself some slack for not being able to entirely subvert the current world order as one person. We need to be better organised for that.

        And, like you said, don’t buy products made with child slavery.
