They’re working for a Nazi company. If they’re not starting the job search now, they’re probably not far from looking into one of those shirts themselves.
Slow your interpretation on this one. I was with you 100% initially but as I am reading more it sounds like they removed Kanye’s store without making a comment.
I’m really good with that. Nazi shit should be taken down. Anyone that needs an explanation about why it should or should not be removed has missed the train.
I posted this in response to another person, but I disagree with your interpretation since this isn’t the first time they’ve had these kinds of issues and their behavior doesn’t line up with that interpretation in my mind.
Shopify’s Acceptable Use Policy says users can’t do anything illegal where they conduct business, or promote or threaten violence. Previous versions of its policy banned “hateful content,” according to archives available on the Wayback Machine, but the clause appears to have been removed in July 2024, based on cached versions of the page reviewed by Bloomberg.
They have had a decent history of shit like this, and between the update to the AUP, not commenting on shithead stores, and not patrolling their store for this kind of content, I’m unwilling to give them any benefit of the doubt.

I think you’re misunderstanding the complaint here. People aren’t upset because Shopify isn’t putting a statement about why they’re removing it, people are upset because they are behaving as if the only reason it got taken down was public pressure, not an actual complaint about the content.
That is why I say Shopify is a Nazi company. And I stand by that.
If you lived in a shithole one-room apartment in Bangalore you shared with 10 people but the meager pay from the call center job you have allows you to have two meals a day if you’re careful what you buy, you’d “just follow orders” too.
Not everybody is privileged enough that they can afford to put their morals before their rent, and that’s no fault of their own. You’re upset with the wrong people.
The road to the holocaust included selling armbands with the swastika too. But that wasn’t even the point I was making.
I’m going to let you in on a little secret, large companies are not run by shareholders and management, they are run by the workers, even if they don’t realise it.
These workers don’t work for Shopify. Companies like Shopify contract out to call center companies. I’m not sure why that isn’t clear to you.
These people are probably not even only fielding calls for Shopify. It’s probably one of a dozen different companies they have to take calls for during their work day.
It’s not uncommon to watch a corpse float down the river or witness a bisection via train in India. I don’t think the chat staff cares. But using them as a barrier against rightful criticism is worthy of being called out or more
The fact they are still Shopify employees at this point is comment enough.
They’re customer support. They’re not making decisions at the company, they’re just trying to pay their bills.
And they likely work for a call center that shopify contracts to handle support

Right now it seems a lot like we’re in a nazi country. Did you move out or stop it?
“Just following orders”

Hell, we see tons of keyboard warriors wanting to eat the rich but how many billionaires have been shot in the last year?
One.
OP would be the first to keep his job in their situation.
Bingo. They call for revolution from everyone but themselves.
Zero. Everyone keeps calling that dude a billionaire but he was only worth 44 million. Luigi’s family has more money than him.
Oh really?
That’s even worse! Billionaires shouldn’t exist and if they do they should live in constant fear for their lives.
Because being in a company that sells such a shirt cuz you gotta pay bills is totally the same as partaking in the holocaust.

lol love how you just assumed the call center is in India
What I (and the people working at those call centers) would give to lead a life as sheltered and priviledged as yours.
Bruh jobs don’t grow on trees and some people have others counting on them and can’t be a martyr.
Seems a little extreme to claim that it’s unethical to work for a company because someone who uses their product did something unethical.
Guess we’ve extended “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” to “there is no ethics under capitalism” entirely.
You’d denigrate the forklift operator loading cargo onto a truck without first looking inside.
Except in this case everyone just got a good look at what’s inside the container, and it’s mostly Nazism.
