I get what you’re saying, but I can’t say that my job contributes to society either. I really don’t think there is that much difference between a PR manager at Whistles or Waitrose or Anna, they’re all part of the industry. Unless I was for example a civil rights lawyer, a nurse or a clean energy engineer, I am in no place to judge people for having a comfortable and well-paying job.
Of course, for myself I am trying to buy less (and no, I do not have a capsule wardrobe), but I still own and buy more than I need too.
I do agree with what you’re saying, that they do both have an air of caring about these things and so they should act on that or keep their mouths shut, unlike some other influencers of whom we don’t even expect they care.
