There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. "You complain about the prison but you eat the prison's food?" This is what you sound like.

What makes that picture seem prison-like to you? And what would true freedom look like in comparison?

It's not illegal to start or join a commune in Western nations, but where are they and why aren't idiots like this living in one? They want the government to force something on others they aren't willing to do themselves.

"No currently living person is morally acceptable. People who aren’t activists reorienting their entire lives around acknowledging and combatting the evils of the world aren’t even on the scale. And people who are such activists are (in the words of one of my friends who is close to that community) "only making comfortable sacrifices that let them think of themselves as a good person within their existing comfortable moral paradigm, instead of confronting the raw terrible truth." IE "If you think you’re one of the good ones, you’re wrong"."

Even if you aren’t an animal rights activist, environmentalist, or labor advocate, do you believe in anything? Are you a Christian, a social justice advocate, or rationalist? Do you know anyone who really satisfies you as being sinless, non-racist, and/or rational? Then perhaps you too believe nobody is good."
