There’s nothing like showing you’re against corporate America, like buying merchandise from corporations stating that you are. /s
I already got my custom made Luigi stickers from an independent producer.
They don’t know if they should pull down the products or keep making money 😂
The terrible genius of capitalism is that it can commodify anything, including criticism of capitalism itself.
While yeah the store fronts are probably large corporations (Stripe, Shopify, etc)… Most of these sellers are likely small privately owned businesses.
Yes, but probably in China, just churning out low quality junk to capitalize on current events.
Hey, at least those poor souls in the sweatshops have access to healthcare.
But you’d be surprised a lot of people still run small Silk screening shops.
I want the owners to feel uncomfortable.
Im all for this.
Put Luigi everywhere.
Even they look out their limo windows at the plebs walking by.
Let them see Luigi, let them see DENY DEFEND DEPOSE
Make the owner’s guard gated world feel like a gilded cage.
Make them feel explicitly unwelcome on every sidewalk they too have to walk down to get to the resturaunt/show/etc they want to go to. Everywhere their exploited congregate.
They destroyed the Commons, send the message they can get the fuck out of them.
You might think it won’t matter, but these are the types that lose their fucking minds being denied anything.
You can bring comments you like to !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world as well (though it’s .world so good luck keeping pro-Adjuster content up.)
Funny how the driving behaviour of CEOs (do anything for more money) is the same thing driving all these folks trying to make money off of this incident. Obviously the amounts of money in each case is way different but still …
The difference is that, in this case “anything” for these merch sellers is selling merchandise with words printed on them for money, whereas “anything” for healthcare insurance CEOs is denying care for people and allowing them to suffer and die.
Sure, they’re both doing it to turn a profit, but the motive and rationale is entirely different.
Not a surprise honestly.
am i the only one seeing the irony in this?
