A lot of people in the notes are getting real defensive while missing the point of the post. For one thing, no where on this post does it tell you not to shop at these places or that youre a bad person if you do. The post is about showing the hypocrisy of these brands emptily co-opting social justice movements for profit, something extremely rampant right now. Its an information post. Its an attack on the corporations, not the individual.
The question is, what do we do about it? I see posts like this all over my dash, but no concrete suggestions on what action to take.
In my opinion the only thing that’s really going to end this shit is an end to capitalism.
But a reformist would probably point out that reversing the recent horrible international trade agreements and creating regulation on international universal workers rights would be a step in the right direction and they would not be wrong.
