"Sorry, Pepsi Haters, But Social Justice Needs Capitalism"
"Pepsi is a profit-motivated business, of course, but if you really care about police violence or criminal justice reform, shouldn’t you hope for it to be profitable?"
Good LORD
@Cocoron THE WORST TAKE
@Cocoron hi i read the whole thing
he praises Uber!
@fireh9lly really love and appreciate how Uber has become the yardstick by which we measure the curse that is late stage capitalism
@Cocoron i checked and can indeed confirm the writer is a white dude with a beard
@Cocoron jesus fuck
@Cocoron Whyyyyyy does this totally nonsense argument still proliferate?! "Commerce supports diversity, not just in terms of the varieties of products and services that are produced, but also the lifestyle, ethnic, and cultural demographics that are catered to."
@Cocoron Oh my god, this part about how the only truly non-exploitative travel is a business trip just made my former executive assistant to a white Englishman who was head of Asian markets' blood boil.
@Cocoron that link is just so sad and self deluded. can people use the tools of capitalism to promote justice? yes, somewhat. does capitalism itself cause justice? are you blind and stupid?
@Cocoron what the fuck is going on out there?! i've been in a mastodon vortex for a while but now... i'm not sure i want to leave?
