Should I Stop Buying Clothes at Topshop?
Absolutely you should! Aside from the points in the article, recall that Topshop itself dodges taxes, and was protested by UK Uncut.
Boycotting Mr Green's stores can punish him -- take your business elsewhere.
James Lovelock, pessimistic, thinks humans are too stupid to curb global heating before a disaster results.
He blames democracy for this, but I think he has it backwards. The cause is that plutocracy has replaced democracy, allowing rich denialists to block action. Exxon, the Koch Brothers, and Transcanada have corrupted our governments and our media.
So, are the planet roasters too stupid to end global heating, or too callous toward everyone else?
Erdoğan has applied, to Turkish journalists, the US system of arbitrarily labeling organizations as "terrorist" and making it a crime just to be members of them.
The US did a great wrong to the world by legitimizing this tool of tyranny in the "land of the free". Your bowling club could be labeled "terrorist" tomorrow without a trial, and you could then be prosecuted for belonging to it; the only question for the court to consider would be whether you are really a member.
Whether an organization is labeled "terrorist" has sometimes become a political decision, as in the case of the Mujahideen Khalq.
To label an organization as terrorist should require a trial.
Legislators that want to keep trans women out of women's bathrooms are usually much less concerned about upskirt photography. This supports the thought that they aren't really concerned for the non-trans women in those bathrooms.
Those women do have a valid concern, which conflicts with the trans women's valid concern. I am not sure what is best to do.
Men's desire to take upskirt photography puzzles me, because you'd see many women wearing similar things openly on any beach. Perhaps they want it only because it is prohibited.
