Extracting rent is exploitation, not consumption, so you can't apply the "no ethical consumption" paradigm to it
I'm even willing to steelman this into no ethical consumption on the grounds of whether you take other peoples money directly or via their exploitation, as with many consumption purchases, doesn't matter but then it still falls apart because for the no ethical consumption paradigm to work it needs some, if nebolous, boundaries and renting out the concentration camp light is indubitably past that.
It's fine to buy the $10 gildan t-shirt, you gotta have clothes, it's how the world works. If there's a second hand store there, maybe hit that up if you can, but it's unreasonable to expect you to go all barrels and suspenders here. Researching minute production line details to figure out where they draw the line of ethical production, be it living wages for the seamsters and don't ask where the cotton comes from, whether it's just straight up grift plastered in 5 different freely purchaseable eco-ethical-labels or whatever is unreasonable. Hell, and bear with me as I steelman this, maybe you need some sort of passive income unless you plan to die at work and that is how the world works. But that'd be like an apartment you rent out, not the concentration camp. No ethical consumption under capitalism can't reasonably include buying the 700ft yacht that runs exclusively on whale oil because you like boating.
Barrels and suspenders are also produced through exploitation of the global proletariat; fig leaves or nothin'!
so you destroying the local plant life or introducing invasive species here? Huh?
There's already figs here nerd :p
destroying the local plant life it is then
Ahh, but the ones that are here are introduced, just already established before my time
in that case we salute your anti-settler actions
I will continue to fight back against noxious weeds by walking around my community nearly nude
