It's weird to me how caught up some people are in believing they are 100% ethical. Like, I'm a vegetarian. I'm not a vegan. But I agree with vegans. I live with that because in our current society, it's impossible to behave in an ethical manner all the time. I do other things I think are unethical, like buying from large corporations like Amazon. I just focus on doing good in other aspects of my life and hope that's enough. No one person can fix the world no matter how ethically they behave, after all. And besides, I believe every person deserves to live a pleasurable life, and I'm a person, aren't I? I couldn't have much pleasure if I behaved in a perfectly ethical manner, as that would involve going off the grid and doing hard labor constantly to survive. And even then, you'd STILL have to get some of your initial supplies from a corporation, probably. So... Yeah. Do what you can and live with that.
