    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

        Also, many of my lemmy comments are not well thought out as I don’t tend to waste (much) time on lemmy when my adhd meds are working. Lemmy is where I let loose with all my wackiest stream of consciousness thoughts. Unless the social anxiety reigns that back… that happens sometimes.

        I guess, as long as it’s self-aware. But c’mon… we’ve both met people before, right?

        Then again, it can spark discussion whether worn ironically or not. So long as it doesn’t turn from, “I need a shirt, might as well get this anti-capitalist one” to “I gotta go get the newest hippest anti-capitalist shirt so I can fit in with all the cool anti-capitalists”.
