That seems wild to me. I get some vegans being a bit apathetic towards humanity, but it seems crazy to turn a blind eye to human issues. I see the way we treat other animals as being directly intersectional with the way we treat humans. All sentient beings deserve compassion.

I think from a practical standpoint, it's easier to check a list of ingredients than to keep track of which brand is owned by whom and how much they suck, especially when most of them do suck. Not to mention that the who-owns-who chart is more convoluted than the English monarchy's family tree.

I definitely get where you're coming from. It's almost impossible to live in modern society without unintentionally exploiting someone. What matters is we're doing our best.

Oh yeah, with the system we've got, there is too much separation between consumption and production of commodities. It is so much leg work to try to have some semblance of ethical consumption, but we'll just keep trying to make the moves in the right direction. The left certainly has a past with animal exploitation and even geoengineering. I think it is just promethian-ism that is the problem really, the domination of nature.
