So I keep seeing this "The Unemployed Philosophers Guild" stand at the Half-Price I go to, which sells dolls of popular geek pop culture icons, Bernie Sanders, Karl Marx, and RBG among other things. Yesterday I happened to see this on the shelf and it makes me wonder how much, if any, are novelty joke items (or if anyone from customers to the employers can take a joke--there's a
discontinued 2008 mug, too):

Which judging from their
Trump line, I doubt the stuff they sell is actually meant to be jokey, least not anymore. Or they could be cleverly taking advantage of the political climate and duping people into thinking they're One of Them and they apparently offer to
sell their products internationally, but I dunno, it's weird. (Also the dolls are unsurprisingly hideous-looking, but that's just me.)
