I feel we are all hypocrites when it comes to values. I don't think slave labor is a good thing but I am sure that I, living in the West, have benefitted from historical slavery and continue to benefit from thinly-disguised slavery in sweatshops/factories far away from me. Should we just bring back slavery everywhere?
The options are not "become a monk" or "give up and take everything you can". We can all do something to help and/or (probably more effective) lobby/vote for systemic change but none of us will ever be perfect.
