Right, and my very strong suspicion is they also really insinuated themselves into the lives of US military people. Whether aggressive marketing, or lots of “respect the troops/thank a veteran” style pandering and t-shirts and hoodies and all that shit, or a combination of all that, they definitely feel like a Nine Line Medevac level of cynicism company. It’s been years but I bet at least one of these companies has fully-transparently fascist apparel for sale right now. Fascism really seems to make for such easy business, at least to the right customers, sadly.
I always remember one particular dude who appeared to have gone ‘full hooah’ I guess you could say, as military and exercise and, idk, gear seemed nearly his whole identity, and he was basically hawking this ridiculous coffee. It was a perfect fit (if contrived, maybe even on both sides).
you don’t need a wide customer base if they are devoted enough

that’s true. Might as well make money from the morons who consistently block any form of political progress
