Weekly transmissions from Adbusters, the journal of the mental environment

Hey Jammer,

The greater of two evils has been ousted. That's reason enough to breathe a long-held sigh of relief. But for the next four years, America will be stuck with only the lesser of the tawdry two. Biden's mediocre Democratic Party is spread too thin and is still too beholden to the interests of the gutless, money-grubbing, corporation-friendly establishment. The political Left will have to go a lot deeper — deeper than it has gone since the earlier part of last century — if it is going to have any chance of even beginning to pick up the pieces, prevent planetary devastation, and heal the wounds of history — both festering and freshly inflicted. It's time for the Left to do some long-overdo soul-searching and get its shit together . . . before the embittered right-wing swings back with a vengeance.

Every one of our actions count. Your actions count. What will you do?

For the first time in, let's say . . . four years, the sun is just beginning to shine through the gloom. But while a certain someone has exhausted the world's appetite for bad news for the better part of those four years, the fast-fashion mega-corporations have been closing in.

Exploitation, environmental degradation, and legal evasion are the norms in the massively abusive mass-produced-clothing industry. We can't afford to turn a blind eye to its injustices for a moment longer.

Here's an alternative that can help you to fight back in a small way. Our anti-corporate, Fluevog-designed, ethically sourced and sustainably made shoe — the Blackspot Unswoosher — is on sale for $99.

Organic hemp. Vegan leather. Recycled-tire soles. De-Nike'd and Unswooshed. Made by unionized craftspeople at a family-owned workshop in Portugal. No wonder the Ecologist magazine calls us "the most ethical shoe store in the world."

Our stock is limited. Available sizes (unisex) include EUR 40, 41, 42, and 43.

But Unswooshers aren't just ideal for kicking corporate ass. They're also a great way to support us.

These virus-plagued days have been tough on us, as for many grassroots and homegrown operations. If you like what we do, and wish to see us survive long enough to do more, consider a pair of Unswooshers as a personal expression of your support. Without you, we couldn't so much as begin our revolutionary search for new ways to live, love and think.

History is at a crossroads. But what comes next has not yet been written. Together, we can forge a future that computes . . . for all.
