think of it this way tc

you cook 100 burgers in 2 hours

each burger sells for $5

you produced $500 worth of revenue

your boss told you to get busy, that is all they did
they produced $0 worth of revenue

but you get paid only $14 for those 2 hours despite having made $500 of value

guess how much the boss gets?

I didn't make the bread, meat, etc

That's basic ownership of production. There is no ethical consumption because you don't own the money you make or the good or services you sell, so the flow of capital can't have ethical status since labour is alienated. If you controlled what gets sold, and make the full money off what you sell, your choices would have an ethical status.
