One of my favorites is any place selling a Che Guevara shirt

Haha yeah, I was literally talking about this with a friend earlier.

The corporations (at least in Canada) have successfully managed to monetize KINDNESS. That's what tipping culture is!!! Reduce base pay like anything, because "hey, people are kind- they'll donate the rest of that wage we reduced anyway".

Capitalism is incompatible with a functioning society.

Pitchfork sales are up

This is just Prime Video and Apple TV. Fallout and Severance are great shows that shit on capitalism, but they're made by two of the most capitalist companies out there.

You're too late.

"Lets blame the corporate corruption on politicians to support anti-establishment candidates thereby slashing our taxes."

Isn’t that the basic business model of any social media corporation ?

I remember being SO. INTO. Hot Topic when I was like, 13.

Then when I was like 15, figuring out that this is exactly what Hot Topic was. Early lessons in how the world works..... 😖

Thats how you get products that build their marketing around the idea that consumerism of "good" products are how you fix the problems.

Which its nice to have products that don't suck, but I do think it is unhelpful for us to think buying stuff is what will solve the problems, even in cases where people largely respect the companies behind those products (framework, the steam deck, etc)

I'm excited about those kinds of products, but I try not to let myself fall into thinking that buying the right stuff is some kind of meaningful labor that will help fix the world

Note: Hasan Piker is currently on the front page of twitch.tv which is owned by Jeff Bezos.

Be sure to check out Hasan's line of anti-corporate greed at his personal merch store at https://ideologie.shop/

It sounds like "ideology", so you know when you buy this merch, you're supporting socialism or whatever!

"Hey, those Anarchists have a cool "A", how about some t-shirts?"

Yep. Fast fashion with rebellious and pithy anti-corporate statements printed on them.

Was just thinking about this recently. The designers Gabe Newell hired (not Gabe) were trying to tell us something with the dystopias in Half Life 2 and Portal 2.

Just pretend to be against AI and cover up that it's involved.

If you get caught apologize and cover it up better.

Bill hicks has you covered.

I mean... Reddit...

The entertainment industry has doing that for over a hundred years.

Our local Pride Week is in August. It's weird, but it may have something to do with corporate shenanigans if you catch my drift.

Anyway it's fun watching some of local chuds foaming at their mouth in June and then we go "dude, we don't do Pride in June for a reason".

This reminds me of something I sometimes see in shows on like Netflix and other media. I can't remember a specific example, but you often have generic anti-capitalist comments from characters (often portrayed as edgy). It often feels a bit, artificial, like a "fellow kids" moment but politically, I guess? Like activism as a prop / character trait, inserted into a multi-million media production. Maybe someone else can better put it to words, if I had more time I would've written a shorter comment

And thus facebook, twitter and reddit were born.

Supreme called. It's in this picture and it doesn't like it.

Case in point.

It's already happening! Some YT channels that talk about corporate greed and all sorts of other similar subjects were bought out by private equity firms then tell them what to not talk about.... So hypothetical

"I've got it sir! We make dollar sign cereal and our tagline can be Eat the Rich! They'll eat it up, literally!"
