@HeavenlyPossum I guess what i'm getting at is, I wonder how many liberals are resistant to arguments against the importance of ethical consumption not because they disagree intellectually, but because they NEED ethical consumption to be treated as important because it is part of how they maintain soft power over the oppressed. I think their reasoning might be motivated such that no "ethical consumption isn't important/is a bad priority/perspective because..." argument will ever be convincing for them, because whether or not it's true doesn't change the fact that it's USEFUL
