    Met people that say these “woke” companies shouldn’t get political but they will happily buy from companies like this. Isn’t surprising at all.

      Of course. It’s not political if it’s just The Way Things Should Be™

      • The two Races: White and Political
      • The two Genders: Male and Political
      • The two Sexualities: Straight and Political

      Their views are never “political” because theirs is the “natural state” of things. They’re on top because they deserve to be, and they deserve to be on top because they are. It’s anything that deviates from that so-called natural state that’s being political.

        Spot on. And notably if there’s anything “political” about the person, it is the first thing they mention about them in a conversation. Even if it’s not to say anything bad - it’s just how their brain works.

      Because they feel affronted and so this is “perfectly acceptable” revenge/payback. They do it with everything… It’s also why they’re ok with dictator Trump. When he says in plain English that he is seeking revenge they feel the same way and want the same thing because revenge implies that they were initially “wronged.”

      They always play the victim, it’s so absurd…

      People: “Don’t be a raging racist asshole, just treat all people with respect.”

      The right: “WAHHHHH! THE LEFT ARE AUTHORITARIANS WHO HATE US!”

      Something that conforms to or supports my views: not political.

      Something that contradicts my views: political.

      Just as an aside, been a 49ers fan my whole life. This whole recent “white guy in a red cap” thing makes me wish I had two more hands so I could give four middle fingers.

      But dude, liberal tears butt wipes or whatever…these rubes eat that shit up

      “Uncle Cletus’s 400 grit toilet paper”

      Are you tired of those ‘woke’ and cushy liberal toilet paper made from weak and pansy processed cellulose? Try Uncle Cletus’s proprietary silicon carbide formula enhanced with sand sourced from All American beaches! Now you can show your patriotism by bleeding red from the ass during every trump-approved toilet visit

      Not only is it not, its not even the only product marketed this way. Off the top of my head I’ve heard of anti woke coffee, beer, phones, foods… I don’t remember what any of them are called because that’s not a good use of brain space.

      So, what happened is Harry’s Razors used to run ads on the Daily Wire, then pulled them because… They’re the daily wire, basically. The guy who owns the daily wire took it personally and launched Jeremy’s razors to stick it to em.

    Interesting that they target “manly, conservative men”… yet they look like they’re made of the saem cheap, shitty plastic most other disposable/cartridge razors use. And look at the ergonomic design… dont want their manly wittle hands cramping.

    Politics aside, fuck cartridge razors and fuck products designed to generate trash.

        How else would you explain those companies that put a rainbow on their logo for a few weeks every year?

        Perforative rainbow washing? 95% of those companies still donate to GOP candidates that fight gay and trans rights every step of the way.

    I don’t understand why this is a shitpost? I mean, other than it’s shit, and here it is being posted. Shouldn’t a shitpost have some sort of intelligence or self-awareness or humor or something? I don’t get it.

      Today on Philosophy with Lemmy:

      If one attempts to make a shitpost, and does it with poor skill or malicious intent, is it not in fact a shitpost just the same?

      This is some absolutely god tier shitposting, taking the piss out of conservatives. I recommend taking a look at their website, it’s amazing.

      And also liberals.

    I’m not saying I’m immune from propaganda but I didn’t think I’ve ever purchased something to “strike back at the conservative corporate culture.”

      That’s because you have a functioning brain with more than two brain cells fighting for third place. You don’t do or feel what you’re told to do by fox “news”.

      I mean it’s pretty common. I’ve not eaten at Chick Fil A for years or shopped in a Hobby Lobby since the religious health insurance crap. Just two big examples. Many people choose to not support companies that are in blatant opposition to their values. And me not buying at hobby lobby did mean I purchased my supplies from an alternate vendor. So I could say I bought from alternate vendor to strike back at the conservative culture…

        Those are solid. I found Voskhod razors E X T R E M E L Y consistent between blades and comparably as smooth as platinum, nacets, silver blue.

        I cut the shit out of my face with just about everything else I tried.

        If anyone reading this is new to shaving, I would recommend Gillette as a good starting point and then try other brands. Don’t get a variety pack, because you get a bunch of shit blades.

        I use Creamo shave cream and like it. It’s cheap as fuck, and nice and thick. You can control how thick with how much water you use. I found other creams get pretty watery pretty quickly

          I spent $100 for 100 5-packs about 10 years ago, and I still have about 25 packs left. Although, I did go through long periods where I had a beard for a several years.

            Sorry, I just made a quick exaggeration of the price. I just got 10 for about $15 a month or so ago. That was the only pack I could find at the drug store. The previous one was a 100 pack, but it was probably more than $20.

            Regardless, much better than the new 5-blade heads. They’re expensive.

    That’s because if women don’t buy the pink ones then they won’t pay the Woman Tax.
