Nike Gets No Cookies: Unpacking the Limits of Commercial Justice

Listen to this episode from Palace of Thought on Spotify. No Man is worth $150 Billion. Nike gets no cookies for supporting Kapernic.. The Commodification of Social Justice.

Justice is not a commodity that can be sold or even owned. Justice is meant to be fair, an equal trade, and cannot be minted or mass-produced. It can’t be given, only returned to balance the scale.

Unfortunately, co-opted movements are not rare. They are the strategy to habituate and keep the possibility of the radical imagination suppressed.

Recorded after Nike’s endorsement of Colin Kapernick, our panel convene to talk the limits of commercial justice.

I hope you enjoy the episode as we think these ideas out loud and come to a collective understanding.
