Super! I enjoyed your post, Tom. It is so important topic and it needs much more visibility. And I admire your decision to turn dowd all the customers who do not align with your values. I wish to see it more.

An other good podcast about the topic: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5fgJHkftwyiG6zgTtgZGDD?si=447f30cc8d674fba

And the film they talk about: https://earthsgreatestenemy.com/

I'm so shocked about Patagonia. I didn’t know this, Tom. Thank you for shedding light on this. I wish this kind of information were more readily available. I use an app called Good On You, but it mainly shows sustainability ratings for companies and doesn’t cover these kinds of issues.

Yeah sometimes these things are well hidden. Good On You is a great app in general though. Thanks for mentioning it!

Great post! I find it hard to understand how things got so polarized... I've openly shared my support for a ceasefire in Gaza, and it seems you can never do it right. I have family and friends saying that these are "extreme left thoughts", while certain people on the internet attack you because "calling for peace is not enough". And so in the end you get worn out from speaking up about war 💔

Yes it’s strange and sad. Thank you for trying, even if it was rejected by some I’m sure there are also others who were quietly grateful. 🙏

Fantastic post Tom! Patagonia's military apparel had somehow flown totally under my radar - I am completely shocked to learn that 😳 It is really sad that everything has become so divisive and politically charged.

Yeah it's a weird one. It's like they had it dressed in camouflage colours so that nobody noticed it was there! Hopefully we gradually can depolarise the world and create more spaces for people to express their thoughts freely and find common ground.
