Damn buying a "Fuck Trump" shirt while indirectly financing the guy is next level irony and peak capitalism

[–] Sarcasmo220@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

It is peak capitalism, but not really the fault of the OP or anyone that shops on Amazon. Under capitalism there is no ethical consumption because by default the workers are being screwed over. Not only that, but capitalism incentivizes monopoly and that's exactly what Amazon accomplished in the online retail market.

I can't help pay the wages of poor Amazon employees if I don't buy from Amazon.

[–] TheyCallMeHacked@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You know, I'm pretty sure that Amazon has enouuh profit margins to pay their employees fair wages if they wanted too, even without your purchases

I know, I just really don't give a shit or think that anything I do has anything to do with whether Amazon succeeds or fails, and my focus right now is more on the ivermectin brainworms and my mom's healthcare than getting a pair of socks. Guess it's a perspective thing.

why tf did i firdt think "hey is that ram...i wonder what type...", then "IS TJAT AN SSD!?!?" and THEN realize what the shirt says??????

I was checking if I recognized the brand before even seeing the shirt

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

at least buy your SSD from a name brand

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah, I buy the cheap shit and just clone it. When it pops, I'll grab another one. Name brands are for suckers.

Also Silicon Power is practically a name brand at this point. I've had many and never an issue.

just like blaze storm, originated as a chinese nerf clone, became a blaster brand by itself
