I don't know, I'm American, I can't really eat if I don't indirectly pay money to the largest neo-imperialist empire in the world (who is currently funding a genocide btw).

There is no ethical consumption. You either consume unethically or you die.

You could. Food is there for stealing. Land is there for growing on. People might shoot at you for trying, but you could.

I'm pretty sure that phrase isn't actually a call to apathy.

I assume you're speaking in jest?

Not attempting to make a call to apathy. On the contrary, I just reject the idea that what you buy from who is leading to any material improvement in society. I think there are much better ways to push for positive change. Like sure, don't buy the thing, but don't fool yourself into thinking you've made a difference. Helping your community/mutual-aid, direct action, these are the sorts of things that I think go a lot further towards resulting in positive material changes.

You know what they say about assuming.

My abstention was based in not contributing to negative change.
