Opinion of the quote: "Our grandchildren will look at us...as slaveholder equivalents"

Opinion of the quote: "Our grandchildren will look at us with horror as imperialists and slaveholder equivalents. As consumers, we are perpetuating a global economic system that systematically oppressed people of color in faraway lands for our own convenience, and no one thinks twice about it. Every street corner has a person of color ignored and abandoned by their country and countrymen. Labor resembles an apartheid nation. Women of color are forced to care for white children so white women can have a leisurely professional career. Black servants are forced to bend to the whims of white money or risk their livelihood. We are all guilty and have no excuse for not questioning the status quo."

Is this a fair assessment of what silence allows to persist?

while we bear some responsibility for the things we directly choose to do, most of our everyday choices are dictated by forces far beyond out control

A big part of the first half of this discussion was about Left Twitter that worships at the altar of Shein because they and their poor friends deserve to have an endless supply of fashionable clothes while not paying the true cost. Those consumers all of a sudden cover their eyes and ears when presented with how they are responsible for global harm and injustices because they are not dogmatic but just as selfish as anyone else in their consumerist desires. I think those are very active choices compared to the vegan case but maybe I just don't agree with that.

While this was mostly just a bronz threaf, your genuine replies are greatly appreciated.
