A guide to consuming ethically in capitalism
Step One: You can’t
(via prettyboisoldier)
Sure, donating clothes to the homeless is great. Raising awareness about A&F’s misconduct—also great. My problem however, lies in the undertones of the other message: that homeless people are the lowest of the low and therefore adorning them in A&F is the quickest, easiest way to stick it to CEO Mike Jefferies. Not to mention, this campaign implies that homeless people are needy and therefore should and will wear whatever we give them and be thankful. It seems to say: I won’t wear this garbage, but they should, in order to prove my point because they fit the proper stigma to do so. I am not OK with this. If a point has to dehumanize men and women to be made, it’s a point not worth making.

bread and roses, coffee and alcohol: if there is one thing radicals/progressives/liberals have failed to get right in the new age
its the notion of boycotts
you wanna know why the bus boycotts of the civil rights movement were so successful?
because an alternative black run transportation system was created for those who couldn’t walk to work or whatever they had to go
they didn’t just tell people…
