The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

When i make enough money to only buy the things i use from sources i approve of we can revisit this. I'm not even the worst off as I've of the poors but until the majority of people can choose what they want this you might as well call it Supreme Nugs and charge accordingly

This is basically the Nirvana fallacy. While maybe you need to make some compromises (e.g few of us can afford clothing that likely doesn't involve child labour) you can make real, positive change. In clothing for example you can get second hand stuff, or just choose to have fewer items. Regardless of the difficulties with clothing nobody would say "I can't afford an ethical parker to survive winter, therefore I will punch a stranger in the face as you can't be perfect.

you can make real change, veganism is about what is practicable. Nobody expects you to die because the world is set up in fucked up ways and your BP meds were tested on animals or whatever but you can avoid animal products without perfect replacements. You don't need to replace chicken nuggets with plant nuggets, you can replace them with daal nutritionally...

There is no ethical consumption while living a capitalist way of life.
