We should not seek perfection, but be satisfied with better options rather than worse. The left can seem rather puritanical. Imperfect alliances are all we have, imperfect people are all we have. If we hold out for perfection, the oligarchs will win and the things we love will crumble while we wait, bicker, shame each other and sit in our own shame bubbles. Let's help each other to be better, help companies to be better, encourage companies and individuals when they make positive change.

The hardest part is avoiding complacence. We are trapped in a system that makes it very difficult to be ethical, very difficult not to support evil agendas with our money and choices. We have to try. It's no good saying, "it's all so hard, whatever I do is bad so I should do nothing." If you're not doing everything, no-one should blame you, if you're not doing the same things as other people, no-one should blame you; if you're not doing anything at all, not trying...that's a different matter.
