Clothing For Holocaust Survivors & Starving Africans
Please help Artist/Designer Katy Hoelck make her fashion line, like, a reality for only, like, $2,000! Like yah! The clothing was "inspired by California wildfires" and of course uses an ECO-FRIENDLY "patented heat transfer dye technique that uses no water in its process"!!!!! Nevermind that the clothing will be produced in a Shanghai sweatshop, whatevs, its ECO FRIENDLY!
Don't you think someone who can afford $17,700 PER SEMESTER to afford Parsons could afford a couple more thousand to put her life's work into practice? I'm sure Katty will have a job waiting for her when she is done with school.... This horrible line of clothing appears as if it has been designed with Holocaust Survivors, Rwandan Refugees or poor people in mind. Not "American Poor" as in they live in the projects and eat McDonalds every day and weigh 300 lbs by the time they begin puberty at age 9. Actual poor people. Like in India or Africa who have to sell their youngest babies to buy food for their other babies.

I'm not going to be a complete dick and link to her facebook page, which is completely public (look at meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!) I sort of feel bad, I dont think "Katty" ever had a chance.

Sustainable Bullshit
Sustainable. Organic. Fair Trade. Sustainable. Organic. Fair Trade. Sustainable. Organic. Fair Trade. The mantra of the modern disingenuous white liberal yuppie hipster douche.
Check out this site where you can buy eco-friendly Jewelry: Loving Each Other and Loving The Planet. A Marriage in Values. We oppose diamond mining, with the unconscionable human and ecological sacrifice it extracts. With the availability of equivalent synthetics to handle cultural and industrial needs, mining of diamonds is simply no longer needed. By retraining diamond miners to earn non-mining livelihoods, we could help communities make a transition to sustainable and ecologically responsible economies.
Don't you think if the starving Africans had a better way to feed their family they would do it? But they don't have a better option. Its Africa. Its hot. They're hungry and AIDS ridden. And its all The CIA's fault. So while the government target of your white guilt may be appropriate, you're still a fucking moron thinking that people will stop wanting to own diamonds because some African 8,000 miles away gave his life for it. And so the poor people of Africa work in a fucking mine. Just like the poor people of China, India, Mexico, Pakistan, Nevada, Virginia, and every other state or country in the whole world work in mines. Let's just retrain them all and everyone can work in an office or a food coop like me! No. They cant. There will always be someone poorer than you digging fucking ore with their bare hands earning less than the guy who delivers your dry cleaning.
I wonder how many diamond miners have been retrained and what will they be retrained to do? Make organic sustainable jewelry with recycled metals? Nope, sorry. Disingenuous white liberal yuppie hipster douches have a choke hold on that industry.
Africa is just missing one critical ingredient that will help spur its transformation into the next global superpower. For Africa to assume its place amongst the world's technological and economic elite all it needs is ................................. ........................................... ................................................ ................... .............. ............................... ...................BIKE LANES!!!!
