I think anyone who uses indoor plumbing should have to process the gray water themselves.

What's yours? I mean, while we're setting up requirements and all.

I think anyone who eats bananas should be forced to work on a banana plantation for Dole Food Corporation and spray Nemagon on the crops until they go sterile themselves.

Aha, that's a good one. Really, anyone who eats any veggies or fruits at all should have to work spraying pesticides on crops. (Unless they eat only organic produce, of course -- after all, if you've got the money to be able to afford that, then you're obviously a moral enough person to be exempt from these completely reasonable rules.)

Anyone who buys an iPhone should be forced to work in the Foxconn factory in China and commit suicide themselves. (Really, this applies to any form of consumer electronics. There are no ethically sourced computer parts.)

Anyone who uses a form of transportation that uses petroleum should be forced to live on offshore oil rigs and clean up catastrophic spills themselves. This also applies if you purchase food or goods that were ever transported in a vehicle that uses petroleum, or if said food or goods were produced with machinery that uses petroleum. Like a tractor.

Of course, even if you only eat vegetables that you grow in your backyard with only a common garden hoe, with no pesticides or fertilizers, you should of course be forced to mine for the coal or work in the nuclear power plant that powers the machine that built the garden hoe.

I guess it's possible that the machine that built that hoe was powered with giant windmills, but then of course you'll need to be forced to mine for the rare earth magnets that allow those windmills to function. Guess who's going back to China to work long hours of hard physical labour? I'm sure that's even more fun that building iPhones.

At this point there are enough human beings that I'm making miserable and/or dead through my unthinking white male North American privilege that I'm pretty happy to be let off with just having to stab some cow in the throat to feel better about myself. Let me at that fucker. I'm going to grind him up and eat him afterwards, and he will be delicious.
