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.
Etsy is probably nuts right now…
They don’t know if they should pull down the products or keep making money 😂
Yeah, did not take long:

This seems in poor taste:

Yeah I’m not feeling the Christmas ornaments. But I do like how many stickers or shirts there are available. I’ll be honest, I did buy a little Luigi sticker for my car.
Both now gone.
Bottom one was a Christmas ornament made to look like 3 unfired bullets with “Deny, Defend, Depose” written on them.
I happened to buy a Luigi plush toy right before this happened, and I’m pretty chuffed with myself
The terrible genius of capitalism is that it can commodify anything, including criticism of capitalism itself.
Just ask Hot Topic.
Recursion! We have to go another level deeper!
Years ago I did a Black Friday at Best Buy. Only thing I got was Fight Club for the irony. :)
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.
Hey, at least those poor souls in the sweatshops have access to healthcare.
Fun fact: China doesn’t have free healthcare.
Edit: this is always a guaranteed way to get salty tankie downvotes!
While that’s partially true, it’s also reductionist, and the trend in China is to expand coverage, not the other way around.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_China
Healthcare in China is primarily provided by state-owned hospitals. Medical insurance is primarily administered by local governments. Over the twentieth century and twenty-first century, using both public and private medical institutions and insurance programs. As of 2020, about 95% of the population has at least basic health insurance coverage.
Medical assistance has subsidized 78 million poor people to participate in basic medical insurance, and the coverage of poor people has stabilized at over 99.9%.
So they’ve now essentially replicated the USA’s system - congrats!
…our hospitals and insurance are state run?

Well, go embroider it on your burlap tunic then.
Capitalists selling you the rope to hang them with
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.
Make this its own post, please.
You can bring comments you like to !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world as well (though it’s .world so good luck keeping pro-Adjuster content up.)
What sub would be the most effective you think?
Not a surprise honestly.
am i the only one seeing the irony in this?
