No, it's pretty god damn funny enough to point out. Leftist sentiments have a way of parodying themselves very easily.
I care about production ethics to the point that 95% of my purchases are from a studio I've toured in person many times and I'm still not buying sustainably. Point being this is impossible, your very existence is supported by modern slave labor both from the side of consumption and taxation. Unless you're engaged with every link in the supply chain and/or living under a participatory economic scheme with balanced job complexes you're stepping on someone's throat every time you consume. Centering the discussion around luxury goods just adds a little ironic edge. I said the quote was a keeper, no?
Trying to dismiss it as cynicism for cool points is surprisingly quaint. While the pessimist may see a decrepit tunnel and the optimist sees a shining light at the end of it, the realist moves out of the way of the fucking train barreling towards him.
