    Late stage capitalism is where your best idea for showing disapproval for capitalism is to buy some shit.

      This seems like the type of short sighted comment you’d see at someone buying a copy of the Communist Manifesto. “How dare you exist in capitalism while also being critical of it”

        Sorry, they didn’t buy food or even just some random thing to bring them enjoy… they specifically bought a shirt to criticize capitalism. That’s about as ironic as you can get. It’s not just “existing in capitalism”

        Edit: now if it’s a self-referential ironic joke of a shirt… bravo, love it.

          In my country you can’t walk around nude. Clothing is absolutely a need and for them to select clothing that is also critical is really just a bonus.

          This is what I meant about short sighted
