I guess I don't consider this a legit argument. You could point to negative externalities that are the result of literally everything humans produce/consume.

But if we want to use that metric, OK. I would venture a guess that the production of coffee yields a heck of a lot less suffering than the production of cocaine, heroin or meth. Any far fewer people consume the latter.

Also to further your point: consider blood diamonds, mining of toxic substances, lead batteries, plastic in the oceans, etc.

Yes! These are all things that rely on the subjugation and abuse of other human and are bad for our earth-spaceship
