Unless there is a complete withdrawal from the system as it is, we are participating in oppression of another being. So whether you make animals, or child-labor in third world countries, or abortion your "cause", on another level you are being cognitively dissonant about something unless you completely withdraw from society as it is. As you said there is only so much one can do. So if we are all cognitively dissonant, why accuse one another , why not just be humble.
These are good points.
One can have a goal in mind: living a life whereby no harm is done. I read somewhere in a channeling from some ET source, that in their culture on their planet, they utilized telekinesis to lift themselves slightly from the grasses so they caused no harm. This is out of our present reach, however, to have an end-goal in mind, one takes conscious steps toward it. This requires awareness.
This is what information is for, and information is not just dry academic facts; information includes the feelings and well-being of other-selves. This is partly what proponents of elimination of meat-eating are trying to get across.
Humility is advisable. As you say, no one is perfect, yet perfection is not the goal. Integrity in living would be a goal closer to what I endeavor to do.
