Much like ACAB, even "good" corporations are still fucking corporations.

Brand loyalty is a parasocial relationship.

@alice I'm 100% loyal to Clark's shoes. They're well-made, affordable as far as shoes go, and don't fuck up my feet.

But along comes some authoritarian shaming me that my loyalty to shoes that don't fuck up my feet, that I can afford, and that are well-made is "parsocial."

Horseshit.

@Bartok Clark's doesn't know you exist, also they've moved all their production factories to countries that have cheaper labor and fewer human rights protections.

They do have a milquetoast antislavery policy though that says they'll consider ceasing business dealings with suppliers using slave labor...as a last resort.

Better than many, but still ACAB.
