Seriously, I can't figure out this analogy.
I imagine if we lived in an anarchist society, and someone was selling widgets, everyone would laugh and say;"he's just taking advantage of his freedom to do whatever he wants to sell stuff, what a hypocrite!" If you want to make the world a better place, you have to do it within the confines of the real world, that's just reality. It seems like the word "hypocrite" is the only ammunition that apathetic Wal-Martians have, in my opinion. Did I pay money for some of the things I own? Yep. Did I get a lot of it second hand? Yep. Do I sometimes throw recyclables in the trash absentmindedly? Yep. Am I a hypocrite? Maybe, but I DON'T CARE! I'lll keep doing what I think is right.
