DeluxeStang Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Yeah, this is an extremely idiotic trend as is. Even moreso if people try this in the U.S. see how long it takes before someone gets shot up lol, probably about 5 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definition of consumerism. Consumerism Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster Thanks for the clarification - they appear to be an 'interesting' group, to be sure. For the record though, their website DOES claim that they are an 'Environmental Movement of the Mind'! ? https://www.adbusters.org/articles-coded/environmental-movement-of-the-mind Either way, radical environmentalists or anti-consumerists - they sound BAD for Ford, and all other vehicle producers. -Ovaltine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you noted about "environmental movement of the mind", AdBusters is completely opposed to modern marketing techniques for consumer goods, including automobiles. They are one of the major sponsors of "Buy Nothing Day" events around the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jniffen Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Reminds me seeing reports when the big 4x4 trucks were parking in the EV charging stations so EV owners couldn't charge their cars. It takes a few to ruin it for everyone else.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
