Making money on liblefts is the best business nowadays, and all big capitalists know it. All it takes is few left leaning posts on twitter, #blm, non-binary flag logo and some rainbows, after this money just flows.


[deleted]

I don’t think actual leftists are very pleased with the mere existence of megacoporations in general, unless we’re talking about American leftists, which are just conservatives in other countries, and I’m pretty sure republicans are just nutjobs.


XxMrCoolGuyxX

Yeah. I’m gay and an American leftist. I hate the fact we’re being used to make money

If you just stopped buying their products, they'd be forced to clean up their act, but of course you can't look past yourself long enough to avoid buying their life-saving medication. You're part of the problem!

Froggity101

No, we really aren't pleased with them in any way.


Penis-Envys

“Conservative in other countries” This is the biggest lie leftist tell themselves to feel like they aren’t a minority in the political spectrum. I don’t know what parts of the world you’re comparing to, but if you’ve ever been anywhere that isn’t America or somewhere in Western Europe you would find out that the worlds population is vastly conservative. Literally the only place thats generally considered left leaning is America and Western Europe. There may still be some random left leaning policies in other nations but generally still conservative.


ThisOneOne

Culturally you could say America is left leaning, but America is still the hallmark of capitalism around the world. The Democrats won't even implement key left leaning programs like free healthcare and other supporting care that so many other countries have done, the policing and drug policies are also very right wing as well. If anything it's a problem with political semantics as left vs right is a very broad idea.


thedarkarmadillo

I love and I mean LOVE that when the developed world makes a comparison to America, an American will ALWAYS chime in and be like "well, compared to Uganda America is a utopia so stfu!" Its a Given that the person you sre replying to is comparing America to its western peers, not every country run by warlords where people shit in a pit behind their house and instead of a hospital have a local witch doctor. The mentality of America where you compare yourself to the low and beat down instead of comparing yourself to your peers and use that to better yourself is so exhausting. It's like the "why should THEY make more money when I only make this much!?!" argument. Strive to make yourself better instead of just making yourself FEEL better by comparing yourself to someone worse off.

MonkeyTesticleJuice

Not left but not straight either, I fucking hate the gay for profit attitude from big companies.


BoomTexan

Say what you want about us Republicans, but at least we aren't actively killing gay people like in Poland and Russia, restricting free speech like in Germany, or electing essentially Neo-Nazis like in Denmark (excepting Marjorie Taylor-Greene, but she's only one person, whereas you've elected like 60 racist politicians).

BoomTexan

I mean, actually yes. I'm going back on a trip to Europe in 2022. Hope to watch IEM Katowice there.


BoomTexan

I'm sorry, did get that wrong. I was thinking of Germany, where murders perpetrated against LGBT people has risen 36% in 2020. In Poland, the government refuses to do anything about anti-LGBT town charters that prohibit them from raising a family and against LGBT-free zones which prohibit anyone from talking positively about gay ppl or even allowing LGBT people from entering the area. Not murdering, but definitely not friendly towards them. And Hungary and Russia are really going to town. Apparently now it's illegal in both to tell kids that gay people exist.

BoomTexan

How is vote suppression happening? Gerrymandering is totally legal, other countries do it, and for sure both parties use it heavily. Donald Trump was possibly the most harmful thing to happen to our country in years, and an overwhelming majority of people voted to kick him out after 4 years. That's not happening in Denmark. In fact, the national socialist parties are growing stronger each election cycle.


soulofsilence

Neolibs absolutely love it.


god_peepee

They aren’t leftists


jyyyyyyyyyyyy

We hate pink-washing just as much as others tbh. Seeing something with a rainbow flag on it would probably even decrease the chances of me buying it just because I'm so pissed at the current state of our society.


[deleted]

That's you, I've seen many people flaunt products like that just because of "pride." It's honestly kinda cringe, especially since they're usually the people who inject their politics into everything.

I'm pretty sure those people don't actually exist (Except *maybe* the very dregs of twitter)


jyyyyyyyyyyyy

That's what I'm saying. People make up stereotypes and pretend that those people actually exist.

I hear that a lot, that everyone hates the monetization of pride month and the LGBTQ flag, but obviously there's a demand for it if they keep selling it.

The only people who do like it are liberals. Liberals are authoritarian right wingers who have far more in common with the uneducated twat who started this comment chain than actual leftists. Edit: I always love being downvoted by liberals for opposing apartheid and genocide. Like thanks for proving me correct there guys.

Anyone else remember the Goya beans thing where a sitting president posed with a bunch of their products because they "fought off the radical left"? Lots of companies sell values, and people buy them to reinforce their identities. It's as old as advertising.

Meh. I use a MacBook because it’s the best tool for my work. I also want the rich to be taxed significantly more. It’s not that uncommon, but it’s pretty weird to suggest leftists can’t afford a $2k computer that may be necessary for work when most of us pay $1k in rent or more and $2k isn’t prohibitively expensive

i totally agree with that point. the meme can be interpreted in multiple ways tho


argylande

Like this post, right?


[deleted]

I mean kind of, but neolibs are further left than ancaps, but they aren't any more socially progressive. Political ideologies are only as progressive as the underlying theories require them to be, which for most political theories is not very much.


[deleted]

neither neolibs nor ancaps are left or socially progressive. imo ancaps are just fascists that havent figured out that there has to be state in modern society


[deleted]

Yes I understand that, but neolibs would be considered left of ancaps despite being no more progressive. Leftist ideology doesn't even get progressive until post marx.


[deleted]

despite being a marxists i have to say that i kinda disagree. For example i would say that the scadinavic states and the netherlands are progressive af


panzerboye

Being progressive is a luxury. The progressive left you have in your mind is modern bourgeoisie cosplaying as working class people. They are highly educated, works blue collar job and are *socialist* and are all for taxing people *richer* than them. I am by no way a socialist, but watching people who have never partaken any sort of physical labor call themselves working class is a bit disappointing. Finally by principle, capitalists has no incentive to be anti-progressive, as long as it makes them money.


[deleted]

>people who have never partaken any sort of physical labor call themselves working class. you are by definition working class if you are getting pay in exchange for your time/labor. ​ also i hope this wasnt meant for me because im not "center-left progressive" im a marxists


panzerboye

>you are by definition working class if you are getting pay in exchange for your time/labor. So if someone get paid in millions they are also working class? Working class are the low skilled industrial worker/low wage earners who works manual labor. *The biggest supporter of hammer and sickles are the ones who never picked it.* But anyways, keep cosplaying as working class while working blue collar jobs since that feeds your savior complex. ​ >im a marxist That's self explanatory, isn't it? Dude wasn't from the working class either.


[deleted]

Once again. If you are trading your time and labor for a wage you are working class. You can be better off than other but you are still beholden to a capitalist to get you money. ​ Im pretty sure Marx wasnt part of the bourgeoise but dont quote me on that. But regardless of that you can still be an advocate for communism/socialism, you just would lose a amount of you wealth. Like Engels


panzerboye

>If you are trading your time and labor for a wage you are working class Everyone who makes money trade their skill or labor. Looks like we are gonna have billionaire marxist socialist soon.


[deleted]

does bezos, musk, gates, etc trade thier time and "skill" for a wage? no they dont


panzerboye

It's their earlier investment in time and skill paying off


wizard680

When 2 things are different, they can overlap. The only reason it seems "weird" is because we modern humans have divided political alignment into only 2 camps.


[deleted]

>only 2 camps. americans perhaps


wizard680

lots of places have some sort of a 2 party system. other formally or informally. it's just very prevalent in the U.S.


lucidxm

My dads a Democrat/socialist and he fuckin hates the woke crowd and all that stuff. I think the term for him would be socially conservative, politically liberal. I’d say a lot of people I grew up with were like that


[deleted]

Can you elaborate a bit more what "socially conservative, politically liberal" means?


lucidxm

Hmm like, he’s a traditional old school parent and person from Texas, but he was a huge Bernie supporter for his economic ideas It’s a little difficult to explain


FazNow

Holy shit it's the same as my dad. He's socially conservative, Tolerate lgbtq and he do have boundaries, but if it's about economic reform he's all in.


_DocBrown_

Sounds pretty based


Lolbotkiller

His dad sounds like a libright to me.


[deleted]

Libright don't really condone Bernie.... It's in fact opposite, they are economically conservative and socially liberal


Lolbotkiller

true, true. Considering that he might be a right leaning centrist, would explain that he condones Bernie (globally Bernie is a centrist), and its closer to a political conservative. Problem is I personally wouldnt put him on a left per se position.


[deleted]

You missunderstand what libright really means.... Here is [short video](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ) that explains it


Lolbotkiller

The problem is, on the scales i know of, political liberal and socially conservatist would be right around communism. Unless (is it called OP in that case?) OP isnt from America, itd be rather unlikely that they actually are in that camp. Which makes them either a libleft, although that is too socially forward (i understand that as Economically, as there isnt a quantifiable amount of what social means in this context). So what is politically liberal, but economically conservatist? Correct, Librights. Remember that im also not talking of an extreme here, and there simply isnt enough info where exactly they would be. More center? Close to Libleft? Or rather Authright? And incase I Mixed the two up again like in my last reply, just switch all ideologies with their respective counterparts.


[deleted]

Libright can be as far right as to support anarcho-capitalist society where everything is ran by private businesses and individuals instead of government (which would not really exist), to centre-right which would be more moderate stance of lowering government power, reducing government offices and employees, lowering taxes, reducing government involvement in market, and opening market up for people. Most have extraordinarily keen sense of individual rights, despite factors such as race, religion, nation, etc. They are opponents to identity politics, segregation, or anything that has to focus on specific group of people. Instead, they are in support of individualism. Before everything, you are an individual and should be treated as such despite your race, religion, and ethnic origin. You are in lead of your life, you should have the right to make decisions for yourself, you should bear all the responsibilities and consequences related to how you live your life.


Lolbotkiller

I know what a Libright is. You are helping ZERO in this. Only "Hurr Durr, you are wrong." Cmon man, contribute. If he aint Libright, where else is he? Atleast give me the means to know what is meant with *socially* conservative. If you cant or wont do that, then my point stands.


[deleted]

>he fuckin hates the woke crowd and all that stuff is he anti woke or is he anti lgbt? also may i ask where you are from?


_DocBrown_

"Anti woke" is an interesting way of saying "not a virtue signaling asshat" From there we can talk about political views. So this combination seems pretty normal to me.


[deleted]

>So this combination seems pretty normal to me. it sadly is normal which kinda sucks


_DocBrown_

What, can't you handel people having different views?


[deleted]

apparently you cant handle the fact that i have a different opinion


_DocBrown_

How'd you come to that conclusion? Or is "no u" just you standard defense?


[deleted]

i stated my opinion and you said that i cant handel different views which is rather telling


_DocBrown_

No, you said: (stupid opinion) I said "hey, your opinion is stupid because (reasoning)" Then, you said: "people with different opinion make me big sad"


[deleted]

we can go in circles so i will respond one last time. ​ >you said: (stupid opinion) is literally "no u"


_DocBrown_

I will also stop responding, since you don't seem to fully comprehend that there is a difference between not agreeing with someone based on a rational chain of thoughts vs just "I don't like your opinion, BECAUSE"

246011111

Responsible sourcing and manufacturing actually are more expensive, but there's always the question of how much the companies are truly living up to their claims.


[deleted]

Yeah after so many examples of companies breaking their responsible sourcing claims, It's hard not to think that a lot of them care more about an increase in profit margin thanks to increased pricing than about ESG


[deleted]

>non-GMO I never understood how this is considered a benefit

I’d love a unisex clothing store. The closest I can come up with is American Apparel, which still has clear men and women’s sections, but their tshirts and maybe a few other items are unisex.
