Freshjive have always had an interest in the state of the nation, politics and general shit deeper than your average tee brand (let’s note we’re talking the original FJ brand in the States, not the watered down liscenced  nothingy one which we have out here which I think might not even exist anymore). They’ve teamed with the blog What the Fuck Is Really Going On (WTFIRGO) on this Fuck Politics tee in the lead up to the US elections this year…

 Our political and economic order is in crisis. Powerful corporate institutions have superseded democratic institutions in wealth and power, to the extent, for example, that nobody can reach high political office without corporate sponsorship. This puts private wealth and power in a position to dictate legislation to the legislators they sponsor, against the interests of the people they are supposed to represent.

The rich get richer, but the rest of us get buried in debt. Banks are bailed out, but families are threatened with foreclosure. Non-violent drug offenders are locked up for years, but financial and political elites are immune from prosecution for their crimes. Merely recognizing these problems, however, does nothing to address them.

Apparently it’s not about apathy but they can articulate it all a lot better than I can. So go read it here and buy the tee here.
