What industry isn’t exploitative? Do you realize the iPhone you posted this from supports slavery-level cobalt mining in the Congo? Do you know where your clothes are made? Come off it.

Getting self-righteous about walking to the deli for a bacon egg sandwich is not exactly saving the world here.

Meanwhile let’s just ignore any exploitation involved in things that we like, and if anyone points that out we’ll just call it a “gotcha.”

You can’t demolish capitalism. Technology has made us a global society, any capitalist country can just subsume any other country trying to opt out. You would need simultaneous agreement of all nations which is never going to happen. The Congo will continue to be exploited by someone, the only change would be who else steps in to do the exploiting if one country stopped.
