    I hate these companies, they are the end game of hyper-consumerist Capitalism. Cheap junk, made largely with slave labor, with extremely toxic chemicals that destroy our environment, most of which gets dumped after a few uses in landfills to slowly rot and leak micro plastics into everything.

    DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!

    Influencers on TikTok doing $200 haul videos with huge boxes of this swill for their addicted viewers, it’s horrific.

      At some point, peasants will need to own their idiotic consumption patterns.

      We clearly can’t rely on the state to regulate or business to sell good shit. Direct action and voting with your money is the only choice left.

      Yet most people larp the plastic trash… And when you ask them why, they act indignant about it.

      🤡 society we deserve

        It’s funny because lots of communists/anarchists want a system that is even more dependent on a conscience, awareness of the collective and intelligence of average citizen while we can’t even do basic wallet voting in this one. Or choose non authoritarian president.

      Don’t hate the companies first, but their mindless consumers. No such companies would exist if your little sister wasn’t so vapid and tacky.
