"Style is Political"

"Style is political"* in the sense that the choice of clothes/fashion/style you choose, whether it's Chanel, Target, or Skinhead suspenders -- lets companies know that "yes, I love your product, so if necessary, you can continue to pay your international female and child employees low wages to keep your company open with your very comfortable high salaries."

Corporations and politics mix, especially when these native companies bring more money in for their country. So the governments and corporations do not want you to do you research on their companies because most people would start to make socially conscious choices (and I fully have faith in people to do that) and that would be unprofitable to them, which is not what owning a company is all about, regardless if it’s immoral.
