      i’m not being fatalistic. i just don’t believe buying beans is an effective way to fix the ecological problems of agriculture.

        From what I’ve learned, this is called the “fuck it” principle. It doesn’t make enough of a difference, so don’t bother doing it.

        It’s a fallacy though.

          I’m not saying it doesn’t make enough of a difference. I’m saying it doesn’t make any difference. the fallacy you’re referring to would be the Utopia fallacy and that’s not what’s going on here. fallacies trick people because they mirror good reasoning. I’m using good reasoning.
