Nike supports National Socialism
Nike likes to position itself as a courageous sponsor of dissidents and the oppressed, like poor Black Millionaire Colin Kaepernick. However, Hong Kong is having major protests because Beijing wants Hong Kong to be more like the rest of China (oppressed)... and the people of Hong Kong want the rest of China to be more like Hong Kong (free). That and China wants to extradite all people who disagree to mainland for re-education.
Jun Takahashi, was a designer of a sneaker, who supported a more tolerant and democratic Hong Kong with the radical tweet, |No extradition. Go Hong Kong!" However, since China uses Social Media obedience scores (and corrupt courts and cops) to bully its people into conformity, they encouraged a Social Media backlash against the shoe (because of the designer). Nike had a choice of standing up for the little guy and freedom, or siding with the corrupt, organ-harvesting, mass-murdering national socialists who run real concentration (re-education) camps (mainland China). Nike sided with the authoritarians over liberty, again. Just like with Colin Kaepernick: the irrational and incorrect mob rules.
