  • I’m not going to assume that you are exceptional when you haven’t given me any reason to. Thus far, everything you’ve said is typical of people defending consumerism without any regard to magnitude.

    Trying to argue that ‘there’s no ethical consumption’ (which I assume you believe) is a tactic you people use to avoid admitting how you’re part of the problem or that you can take steps to solve it. If I were to go live out in the woods, then you can point at me and say “See!? Either we spend as much money and consume as much as we can or live in the woods like a crazy person! There’s no in between!”

    It’s not a purity test. You’re looking for any reason to make it seem like the person ordering doordash everyday is contributing to the problem at the same level as the person cooking their own meals every day. That’s not true and you’re going to get upset at me for pointing this out because it causes your cognitive dissonance to flare up.
