There's nothing like showing you're against corporate America, like buying merchandise from corporations stating that you are. /s
I already got my custom made Luigi stickers from an independent producer.
Etsy is probably nuts right now...
They don’t know if they should pull down the products or keep making money 😂
Yeah, did not take long:

Yeah I’m not feeling the Christmas ornaments. But I do like how many stickers or shirts there are available. I’ll be honest, I did buy a little Luigi sticker for my car.
Both now gone.
Bottom one was a Christmas ornament made to look like 3 unfired bullets with "Deny, Defend, Depose" written on them.
I happened to buy a Luigi plush toy right before this happened, and I'm pretty chuffed with myself
The terrible genius of capitalism is that it can commodify anything, including criticism of capitalism itself.
Just ask Hot Topic.
Recursion! We have to go another level deeper!
Years ago I did a Black Friday at Best Buy. Only thing I got was Fight Club for the irony. :)
While yeah the store fronts are probably large corporations (Stripe, Shopify, etc).... Most of these sellers are likely small privately owned businesses.
Yes, but probably in China, just churning out low quality junk to capitalize on current events.
Hey, at least those poor souls in the sweatshops have access to healthcare.
But you'd be surprised a lot of people still run small Silk screening shops.
Fun fact: China doesn't have free healthcare.
Edit: this is always a guaranteed way to get salty tankie downvotes!
While that's partially true, it's also reductionist, and the trend in China is to expand coverage, not the other way around.

So they've now essentially replicated the USA's system - congrats!
...our hospitals and insurance are state run?
Well, go embroider it on your burlap tunic then.
Capitalists selling you the rope to hang them with
