Hey, kids! Let’s put on a protest!
So, I'm looking at this picture from the BBC:
and I can't help but wonder: did those protestors farm cotton, completely organically with no man-made products... then build a cotton gin on their own... then spin the cotton with home-made spinning wheels... then weave it with their own looms created with their own hands... then paint letters on it with their own blood?
Or did they go down to Tesco's and buy cheap sheets?
Consumers, indeed.
"We hate capitalism! And thus we wear hoodies from Gap!"
"Pay no attention to our store-bought blue jeans made by children in Bangladesh and our stylish messenger bags, hats, and t-shirts bought with our privileged parents' money!"

At least they're back to complaining about the hand that feeds them instead of our former president, and vice president.
