So much of this woke crap is full of irony and hypocrisy. But this one is way up there. I guess they have no idea what their overpriced junk is made from.

I don't own any, never will now. I love Electricity and Gasoline. Makes life great.

I've owned one piece-of-sheeit North Face jacket.....they're made for the uptown yuppy crowd, and will freeze your azz off.....and, don't even get near a sparkling campfire, or the sparks will burn holes in that nylon shell in an instant.....if you wanna stay safe and warm, go with anything made by Carhartt.

That’s ridiculous on so many levels.

Frigging idiots .... and hypocrites. I'd be willing to guess the jackets they refused to sell contained products made from petroleum. I wonder if they have a parking lot? Or just bike racks? How do they move their products? Wind-up toy trucks? Do their offices have heating and air conditioning? You could carry this line of questioning out forever. I just did a quick scan through their website and randomly picked a product or two under "backpacks". Each item I looked at contained nylon as well as polyester ... both made from crude oil. Some 'interesting' stuff comes up if you Google something similar to "North Face sweatshops". But who cares about that as long as they don't use petroleum products? The North Face is owned by VF Corp. I pulled up a list of their manufacturing sites, but it's 32 pages long! Put it this way, a vast majority of them are in 3rd world countries ... but Asia (mostly China) is, by far, at the top of the list. I'm sure these manufacturers use nothing but "natural materials".

441 factories in Asia
61 in Central America
57 in N. America
51 in Europe
41 in S. America
26 in Africa
6 in the Middle East

Ummm yeah, I get it. I just wanted to carry it on out a little farther (further?), do a bit more research and get down to the nitty-gritty, that's all. No biggie.

Sorry, but was it y’all or somebody else that was going on and on about ‘cancel culture’.

Must’ve been somebody else because y’all would never......

I guess I’m a little behind. Since I had to Google it, it obviously wasn’t me.

I'm dang sure a White Nationalist. Only thing I cancel are checks. Only boycott I take part in is to boycott boycotts. "Cancel Culture" normally means eliminating something that is worthy of retention. This ain't that.
