   LB: Whoomp, there it is.

   Doesn't matter how virtuously you consume - you're still a consumer under capitalism.

   Capitalism has co-opted every 'ethical consumption' effort, and profited off of it, and in most cases simply become more cunning at hiding the real costs.

   This isn't to say, stop trying at all.

   Rather: stop thinking that you can use capitalism to beat capitalism. Stop trying to buy your way out of capitalist destruction.

   Find another way.

      @dartigen Escaping capitalist thought in general is something that's important.

      The idea capitalism can be defeated with itself is one element.

      Another is the selfish ways of thinking ingrained by capitalism. I see it a lot; a lot of socialists more interested in their own lot without considering the whole, or the future of the planet and sustainable development, or such.
