I noticed people started to use the idea of “no ethical consumption under capitalism” to just be completely irresponsible and just stop trying at all. I don’t think the point of that is to give up completely lol

In fairness this stems from leftist misinterprtations of the LTV which mix up exchange and use value and fail to nail down "Socially necessary". The genius of marx is that he shows that the folk conception of value is several different things, and that Marginalist interpretations conflate these things to maintain the supremacy of capital.
