    Yeah, this is a really lazy attempt. Boo hoo, my sock has a hole in it and I don’t want to fix/replace it, therefore capitalism sucks? Come on, you can do better than that. Your socks will still get holes regardless of our socio-economic system.

      We have all kinds of branding on socks about all the SpEcIaL sWeAt WiCkInG tEcHnOlOgY for maximum sweat wickage, and yet companies can’t make a sock that lasts as long as socks from 50 years ago. What the fuck are companies spending all their research on to make these apparently incredible socks that barely last a year or 2 before they wear themselves thin? And then because they’re these super proprietary blends of synthetic materials, any repair job is going to be a pain in the ass to make even as good of a repair as decent quality cotton socks from 50 years ago.
