    I hate how lack of personal responsibility got turned into a radical idea through solely blaming corporations, as if corporations magically created issues in a vacuum, rather doing so to make as much profit out of people. To hold corporations accountable, you literally need to be personally responsible. Going vegan is one of the things, abadonning personal cars another. It's literally impossible to hold companies accountable without actively applying personal responsibility, unless you solely focus on companies catering to people above your economical class.

      In this drama, governments and states are the actors. The problem is not corporations, the problem is states allowing corporations to rule them, false democracies like Russia and the USA, or not democracies at all like China. You going vegan it's good for you, I guess.

    The common and successful counter-argument to that is consumers saying "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" and making that as moral of a stand as they can pretend it can be and there being enough of them around (and a ruling class that benefits) to legislatively prevent any changes.
