This bit is well worth paying attention to. If we're going to be against Corporatecunts™ as a community, we can't really use the same manufacturing crimes, non?
I tried to build my Polobike by people that earned a fair wage. Everything was sorted except for brakes, cables, and the chain (Taiwan), or so I thought. Even Thomson, Hope, Lee Cooper et al. will use parts (bolts, usually) or materials that are machined or mined by essentially slave labour.
It fucking sucks but it's how it is I suppose. If you really want to rail against this become self sufficient and fuck off to the woods. Problem with this is, eventually, Corporatecunts™ will want somethign from the land you're on and you'll be made to disappear.
I'm not in a fantastically optimistic frame of mind regarding humans lately, does it show?
