"They were added to our 2020 Men’s and Women’s Road to Regenerative Organic Stand-Up Shorts because we have been standing up to climate deniers for almost as long as we’ve been making those shorts," said Tessa Byars, a spokesperson for the Ventura-based clothing and gear maker.


Pataginia has 13 factories in China. How can they be standing up to climate deniers while they are bending over kissing ChiCom fanny?

In that I live in California “Vote the as-holes out” is a pretty valid statement.

I asked my grandson what he wanted for Christmas 2019 and he sent me a link to order a knit shirt from Patagonia. I did because I was ignorant of their leftist management. Never will I make this mistake again.

Bye Patagonia. Your products are good but pricey. There are other dealers that have equal value.

Wonder how many of the Hollywood crowd wear Patagonia gear while flying their private jets to Aspen or Jackson Hole

” How can they be standing up to climate deniers while they are bending over kissing ChiCom fanny?”

Because “climate deniers” merely means “refuses to be a slave to China.”

Liberals play with word definitions.

For example, “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” really means a despotic pseudo-religious slave state.

“ANTIFA” really means “brown shirt for communists”

“Racist” means “white person”.

“Anti-Semitic” means “calling out George Soros for being a Nazi collaborator and complete scum bag”.

Patagonia is very local about its politics. It’s sued the Trump administration and the online shop is full of references to the company’s activism. Right-leaning folk are obviously not wanted as customers and I’m happy to oblige.

If you need outdoor clothing/work or farm wear that is well-made, stands up against the elements, is reasonable priced and has great return policies, Wisconsin invites you to shop at Lands’ End or Duluth Trading Company.
