Oh come on. Fucking douchebags.
Like it was shown in a picture above, people are protesting against big corps, while they're wearing Adidas. And WTF? A guy wearing "Misfits" t-shirt with Nike shoes, fuck me.
It is awesome when people get out and try to make them heard, but this is just stupid. Most of them are posers who want to get everything for free.
People don't realize one thing. We vote everyday, not once in few years, but every fucking day, even dozen times a day. That is the most powerful vote in today's system. It's not your political vote, no. It is your dollar! That is the only most powerful vote you have today. Vote with your money!
Educate yourself who you give your money to. Who they are. Who is standing behind the brand and logo. Learn and educate. Self education FTW people! I give my vote (money) to the local burger shop instead to McDonald. I like to hand my money to the owner of the joint, while he is standing at the cash register and picking his teeth. That is really a great feeling. It is Awesome!
I understand that you can't avoid big corps daily (your car, laptop, TV, etc), but you got the right to choose the one you support the most. Buy clothes from companies that work with 3rd world labor unions, Fair Trade Unions, etc. Don't blindly give your vote to someone, because it is easier to reach it.
I understand researching and choosing to buy products that are not from major corps is harder, because it is easier to buy a Nike than some other "low quality; unknown brand".
But this is how you can change something, this is you making the change everyday, every time you hand out that dollar of your wallet.
Educate yourself who the brands are, the shareholders, what they do, and are they good enough for you to vote for them. If they're not good enough for you, fuck 'em, and choose another. Even if the product is the best product in the market, but the owners are douchebags, I'll chose another one.
It is hard to change a your buying habits, but it does matter.
