quote:

California outdoor gear company Patagonia concealed a political statement against climate change deniers in some of its newest clothing. "Vote the as—holes out," reads the message printed on the back of some tags. "They were added to our 2020 Men’s and Women’s Road to Regenerative Organic Stand-Up Shorts because we have been standing up to climate deniers for almost as long as we’ve been making those shorts," said Tessa Byars, a spokesperson for the Ventura-based clothing and gear maker.

To be fair, it really doesn't say WHO to vote out, that's left up to the interpretation of the voter....

Patagonia is shite quality and anyone that argues differently doesn’t do anything but wear them to the store.

"It refers to politicians from any party who deny or disregard the climate crisis and ignore science, not because they aren’t aware of it, but because their pockets are lined with money from oil and gas interests," she said.

Back in the 80s, they actually made solid technical outdoor clothing. Then they turned into fad wear by HS/College kids.

The Trump family has been sending messages with their clothing lines for years.

Their actual outer layer gear is good quality and has a lifetime warranty. That said, they've never hid the fact that they are unapologetically liberal.

The dudes I know that wear Patagonia are d-bags or latent homosexuals.

Not sure why this is surprising. They've been politically transparent since they started the company.

It's purely a business decision.
Colder climate = more coat sales.

Warmer climate = less coat sales.

Can't blame them

HUMAN-INFLUENCED climate change. Not the fact that the temps are actually changing.

It’s an important distinction that hippies ignore.

Yeah I saw this earlier this week. I already have a bunch of shite from them and I’ll keep wearing it because they already have the cash. Their hemp pants are all I wear to work. Truly life changing.

Their efforts to conserve public land are also great.

However, this will likely force me to move elsewhere. I don’t like being preached to in regards to voting so I’ll take any suggestions.
