    How do people even find out this stuff? Is there a reddit post saying I FOUND HIS SWEATER or something? Same with the backpack.

      Even here there were people that were talking about the exact backpacks details. If you own the same thing you’ll recognize it.

      People are conditioned to their environment. It’s like the far right assholes who hate the system but don’t understand that the real enemy is the rich and instead think we need to attack government. Yes, that’s bad too, but class warfare is the real answer while they suck off Musk for his “epic posts.”

      I’m relieved that some amount of awareness is blooming. We can hope that it continues to develop.

    Here I am wondering how people afford to shop at Nordstrom while also being annoyed by the consumerism bullshit that is a blight on us all.

      I have one thing from there.

      A company branded sweatshirt.

      When I got hired they sent me the catalogue and said “pick something”, and I went “surely not, no, this is far too expensive for the one time I’ll wear it…” and they said “you need something for twice yearly meetings with the ceo, so just pick something… ok?”

      And so I got the absolute loudest (that I liked) multicolored zip front hoodie I could find and those bitches paid to have that shit embroidered with a logo nobody cares about or recognizes, and now I have a ridiculous sweatshirt that’s much higher quality than it deserves to be but cost THREE HUNDRED FUCKING FREEDOM DOLLARS, and thus occasionally gets worn even tho I don’t work there anymore.

        Holy shit. I can’t imagine being this upset to receive something for free. You must be fun at parties.

          Just because you don’t have to pay for something yourself doesn’t mean it’s not a waste of money.

    “They are literally treating him like he is some sort of political fodder, like some sort of spectacle,” Agnifilo said. “He was on display for everyone to see in the biggest stage perp walk I’ve ever seen in my career, it was absolutely unnecessary. He’s been cooperative with law enforcement… There was no reason for the NYPD and everybody to have these big assault rifles.”

    “It was perfectly choreographed, and what was the New York City Mayor doing at this press conference, your honor? That just made it utterly political,” she continued.

    His lawyer seems to not be afraid to pull any punches, I like her.
