In 1992, maybe 93, I went downtown Minneapolis looking for ANY article of clothing that was "MADE in the USA" and it took SERIOUSLY over three hours to find a single item (yes, I found ONE item). I hit every store and I mean every store in the IDS and surrounding areas. OK, so I went to the cashier about carrying that Made in the USA item.
Just kidding. Um, yeah, I bought it and single-handedly exhausted the entire supply downtown of retailed American Made clothing. LOL!
Look, I don't why people are noticing this now, but greedy, rotten ripoff capitalist scumbags have been hiring slaves abroad starting with the end of slavery here. Slavery became illegal here; true abolition of slavery took some time to make it stick in the north.
By the 1960s, we had our first real chance of giving America back to the average working American. Ironically, when the compromising puppets QUIT doing what they were told and really tried to make a difference, they got shut (or shot) down.
It's a complicated mess today, but we still have the 1st Amendment (it's almost gone, but we can resuscitate it with the 2nd Amendment).
The Civil Rights movement is supposed to be about our being 'civil' with each other. Being Civic Minded, that sort of thing. But instead, well-meaning fear-mongering anger addicts let the addiction to judgment cloud their hearts with unreasonable passions & poisons.
Dictatorship and forcing solutions have never worked. Like Buddha pointed out about holding the hot coal of anger. That.
Love is the only real chance we have of healing this broken woken cesspool. Almost everyone thinks the 'other' side is either 'woke' or broke, or are the sheeple.
Don't starve the sheep. Feed them. Or in the Native Tradition, DO feed the white dog/wolf. But yeah, don't feed the slave masters.
BUY LOCAL. At the very least, buy from our allies that are under siege.
