JHS - Good, Bad, needs more tubescreamer?

[fcknoise]

I think if you refused to watch or buy anything from somebody who had voted Tory you would be uh, very short on options and pretty hungry soon I imagine. I think we need some room for being friends with people with whom we disagree, while accepting there's a line where that stops

I'm in Manchester so there's not many Tory voters about, less that 100 people in my ward at the last local election

I only mentioned Anderton's/TPS to illustrate that I'm more likely to make assumptions about someone's political outlook if they're in the UK. I've no idea whether those assumptions are accurate though and would primarily avoid their videos because they're quite conservative in terms of their approach to music!

I think ethical consumerism can make a bit of an impact but it doesn't really influence my choices much. When it comes to pedals there's often multiple companies producing similar designs so it should usually be possible to avoid a company that has a particularly bad reputation. I suppose a lot of people use their pedalboard to express their personality so it might be particularly important to them.

Are there brands that evangelical Christians actively avoid?

Hey me too.

I am definitely not anti-ethical consumerism to some degree - I do a bit of it when I know things? Just hard to be super great about it in every part of life, and particulary when you start making the criteria for avoiding businesses broader. Not that it's a bad thing to do by any means I do not have some big unified theory about this haha just thinking out loud as I go

Woo, more manchwegians.

The prospect of getting flooded by evangelical christians made the talkbass invasion seem totally fine. I think we all need to do our part and add a little bit of satanic imagery to the forums
