Of course, they are just trying to sell shirts and stickers, they don’t give a shit about what’s printed on them. This is not news.

Yeah. It's like a flag seller selling both American flags and pride flags, he's not on any side but the green side.

This is not news.

It upsets people on both sides at a time when everyone and their brother is trying to get people to boycott things...

It's ok if you don't see the value in this article, my dog doesn't understand why I pay the electric bill, but he still benefits from it

It only upsets the people that don’t understand how things work. Be smarter than your dog.

Honestly kind of surprised you missed the point, I thought I had made it simple enough.

So that's my bad, and I accept it. But I'm not trying again, have a nice life buddy

Capitalists will capitalize on any situation to sell you something. This is nothing new.

Reminds me of that image of the guy selling flags at a festival or something and he's got the Nazi flag right next to the Israeli flag or the thin blue line flag next to the Gadsden flag.

He didn't care what side you're on. He's got a flag for you lol.

Capitalist assholes, you mean. This entire "ooohhh, assholes only exist with capitalism but with Communism everybody will be an angel!" narrative is tiring and dumb. There are assholes that abuse anything and everything, no matter the system you live in.

This is nothing new.

Back when Elvis was on his rise, his manager sold both "I love Elvis" and "I hate Elvis" merchandise.

Good thing I stopped using that shithole company long ago.
