Because you're not imagining it—things are messed up.
The Outraged Consumer brings you what the PR departments don’t want you to know: the receipts, the hypocrisy, and the corporate clownery screwing people over every day.

We’re not polite. We’re not neutral. We’re not bought.

We’re here to expose, mock, mobilize, and connect.

👉 Subscribe to get:

  • 🎯 Weekly exposés that hit where it hurts

  • 😤 Satire sharp enough to slice through spin

  • 📢 Real-world actions, not just hot takes

  • 🧵 A community of people who give a damn (and are tired of being gaslit)

This isn’t just a newsletter. It’s a space for smart, pissed-off people who are done pretending everything’s fine.

Speak up in the comments. Lurk in righteous silence. Share what’s broken and how you’d fix it. Or just send memes. All forms of engagement welcome.
