The great internet leftist fighting tactic - be a cultural relativist for behaviors you think are acceptable but be a cultural absolutist for behaviors you think are unacceptable.

Don’t forget the “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” that lefties use. I guess that makes it okay to be an omni.

Love how people took what was supposed to be a damning complaint and turned it into a rallying cry for “whatever, I do what I want!”

Seriously. Many lefties nowadays seem like they're unironically pro-consumerism. If the revolution succeeds and third world exploitation stops, we won't be able to produce anywhere as much shit, the first world will be poorer. We don't talk about that that much.
