Oh, Inverted World!
Liberals boycott Whole Foods while conservatives plot to bring down Wal-Mart. Weird.

Sillyness, indeed.Report
Well, the Wal-Mart one is silliness on an ideological level (though many would argue that lower- and middle-income christian conservatives vote against their own interests by shopping at Wal-Mart.)
But what’s inconsistent about Liberals not wanting to shop at Whole Foods?
– It’s a non-union store
– The CEO has repeatedly and publicly behaved in ways that I’m sure many Liberals disagree with
– The prices are inaccessible to most of the country – if we oppose the commodification of water, why wouldn’t we oppose the same with fruits and vegetables?
– Whole Foods is still not necessarily a great environmental citizen – lots of packaging, lots of long-distance shipping…among many other issues…
And that ignores any doctrinaire anti-capitalism bent on the left.Report
