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

    Happened really fast with enshittification. It describes a particular capitalist process based on specific circumstances and people just use it to mean “when things get worse”

      "enshittification" was coined by Cory Doctorow. Doctorow has some very harsh criticisms of capitalism, but it's always capitalism with an adjective, like surveillance capitalism. If you look at what action he actually advocates for, it's pretty clear that he's a liberal.
