    The fact that you thought target was ever the opposite of Walmart in ethics demonstrates you were never paying attention in the first place

      Perhaps I was naïve and it was always skin deep and Walmart just didn’t care to hide it, it’s possible. But there was a time when yes, I did think Target was a better supporter of its customers social causes. Every company is just a company, after all, but the pendulum going from “we sell pride merch!” to “what’s diversity?” was particularly jarring for me, and evidently I’m not alone in that feeling.

        It was publicly anti union. They never cared about social causes. They paid workers squat all–diversity in worker suppression.

        Caring only that there’s a diverse lower class catering to your needs is not actually caring in the first place.

          Judging anyone by your own personal standards isn’t community.

          If you wanna be part of the solution, stop being part of the (judgmental) problem.

            I’m a union rep, I’m already part of the solution … Doesn’t mean I can’t still talk shit . I just already boycotted consumerism years ago
