I don't see anything significantly wrong with that comment in the screenshot.
The idea that "the chocolate has already been made" has any bearing on anything. Buying chocolate sends a price signal to produce more chocolate.
The idea that the "lost" chocolate is "written off through taxes and insurance." They seem to be operating under this idea that companies are incapable of losing money because they just have a magic button they can press to make up any difference.
In general, the idea that "no ethical consumption under capitalism" gives a blank check to consume any unethical product, no matter how easily avoidable, putting treats before everything else.
Basically the whole thing is nonsense, the only air of legitimacy comes from them strawmanning and arguing against "ethical consumption solves everything" as opposed to my actual position of, "The fact that ethical consumption isn't sufficient doesn't mean you should just do whatever."
