Comment on Peter Dutton calls for boycott of Woolworths after Australia Day merchandise dropped

what society defines as moral isn’t “ridiculous stuff”… pressure is one of the only tools we have to ensure companies behave morally

i’m not saying this is moral or not, but (and i’m about to make a reducto ad absurdium argument so we can pull it back after) we should absolutely boycott any retailer that sells nazi flags, right?

given that the answer to that question - from most people - would be a resounding yes, there’s certainly a line in the sand… for some people, australia day sits on that same side of the line

but buying bullshit with a flag on it to use for a single day to celebrate how good we are is my definition of wasteful and narcissistic

You don’t have to only use the stuff for a single day you know?

  you don’t, but all of these are cheap garbage themed products that only last for a single day, even if you were okay with being cringe-worthy enough to use them on other days
