what a great piece! the stanley cup situation is such a clear example of blind consumerism since it not only highlights the incessant need to buy things just because they’re status symbols (and they feed into this clean-girl, soft-girl DISEASE that’s all over tiktok right now) but it also highlights how people will ignore the morals of a company when it benefits them. it’s almost common knowledge that starbucks is one of the brands that people should be boycotting right now in support of the Palestinian people and this sentiment has been really expressed on apps such as TikTok... it’s crazy that so many people conveniently forgot that once the Stanley Cup x Starbucks collab went live.
