That doesn’t mean making an effort to minimize harm is pointless, it just means you’ll never get it to zero. Touting that phrase all too often turns into a band-aid to excuse less-ethical choices, just because someone’s always getting screwed somewhere.
That’s your right. But when I look at the things I own, I see the suffering it caused to other humans beings. My shirt was probably made in a sweatshop, my smartphone has Congolese children blood in it, my car is destroying our environment … and I see no actual alternatives to these. I just try to change these things as little as possible.
There’s no ethic consumption under capitalism, unfortunately.

Not incorrect, just fox news level of dumb.
Bookmarking and praying to learn this painful lesson for real this time😤
I completely disagree with that stupid phrase.
