There is no ethical consumption under capitalism bro, everything is equally bad
I won’t stop buying slaves until the state compels me not to, until then to each their own and let’s agree to disagree and I’ll have you know my family needs their labor
It’s great that you can live without slaves though, keep being an anti-slavery activist it’s awesome!
You’re the best!
This perfectly describes how YES, these systemic issues will never ever ever change until there are systemic changes.
Legal chattel slavery ended in the US because of systemic changes.
The same types of systemic changes is what will actually work with other trends today that we shame individuals about instead of forcing systemic changes.
