    There’s nothing like showing you’re against corporate America, like buying merchandise from corporations stating that you are. /s

      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.

            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%.
