I don't blame the consumer, I just make fun of those who virtue signal as if they truly do their part, but again the consumer votes with his wallet, but society motivates him into a certain way of spending by bombarding him with ads, etc. The problem is the system, you can't blame a cell in a cow for now behaving the same way as a cell in a cat, we're just that, cells that interact with one another, the emergent system is our society, and since we've become super connected with the internet, society could be seen as its own brain with its own consciousness and needs, and trying to think about it is as useless as a single neuron trying to imagine consciousness. Honestly I'm just not smart enough to think about these things, it's a problem with too many variables, and while it can be modeled with analogies and examples limited by language, those are just useful for internet posting or entertaining conversations.
