    I mean if we’re being capitalists, that’s how the free market works, right?

      US auto makers were like “we love the free market”, then people bought cheaper cars from China and they said “wait, not that free!”

        No ethical way to spend in a capitalist society. It kind of is what it is, cause I gotta eat. Also certified “you criticize capitalism yet you live in it moment” to you sir.

          are all unethical choices equal? Surely there are better and worse things?

              Where I was going was: effects can be different even if all choices and results are unethical. If one cares about the possible impacts of ones actions, consideration beyond “well it’s all unethical, so whatever” could be warranted.

                You tell yourself whatever you need to to live in this society and be happy. I’m sure the extra $.80 you’re spending for the label that says cruelty free, is in fact cruelty free.
