There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fun:Fair trade

From RationalWiki

Necker cube.svg Tired of laughing? RationalWiki has a slightly more serious article about Fair trade.

Fair-trade is a description applied to products, particularly coffee, that are enriched with delicious liberal deceits, specifically that of giving farmers a fair price for their produce. This is obviously a commie plot, as no-one in their right mind would believe that perhaps not oppressing the populace was a good idea. The deceits taste particularly delectable if one is a communist, allowing good conservatives to easily determine one's political orientation.

Conservatives, for their part, find that the taste of the sweat of oppressed labor adds a delectable tang to the taste of their coffee and chocolate. Or it could just be all that sweet sweet lead; countries without labor standards tend to be those without environmental standards.
