You're still missing the point. There's a difference between responsible consumerism and an active society. The latter is what will make a difference in the long run.
I try to provide support within my means. I don't have the balls for frontline activism but I will donate resources, educate myself and communicate/debate/convince others to become aware/involved in a meaningful way (and, KEY POINT!, do so in an effective way).
