This week we chat about how it is impossible to be fully ethical consumers under capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy, and white supremacy. These systems are actually dependent on unethical practices. Folks on the left can absolutely tie ourselves in knots trying to make every single choice be “the right one.” We also talk about the weird (and gross) moralizing that sometimes accompanies the privilege of being able to afford the seemingly “most ethical” options.
