      Idealism is great when you use it to fight for a better world.

      Idealism is privileged when you use it to deny any reduction in harm as not being ‘good enough’ to permit.

        It’s happens all the time when people argue against veganism saying that farming kills the animals in the field despite the fact that meat requires much more crop land to produce.
