ROFL 🤣

Lululemon, the trendy yoga-pants company that is publicly traded and boasts a market cap of almost $41 BILLION, actually promoted an event called "Decolonizing Gender" which was described as "A workshop to unveil historical erasure and resist capitalism."

The New York Post notes:

Lululemon made the Instagram post three days before it reported a $489.5 million gross profit for the second quarter thanks to a 155 percent spike in net direct-to-consumer revenue. The recent growth came as the COVID-19 pandemic led hunkered-down consumers to eschew office wear for comfier clothes.

The Vancouver-based retailer has also seen its stock price climb nearly 40 percent since early March to close at $320 on Thursday.

The company has since deleted the post.

My family has never bought one thing Lulu, but hoping some other previous customers help Lulu resist the profit side of capitalism all the way to bankruptcy.

Haha, democrats resisting capitalism, the same way they resisted the KKK, by lying about their actual support of it, all the while profiting immensely from it. They know there’s a sucker born every minute.

“...hoping some other previous customers help Lulu resist the profit side of capitalism all the way to bankruptcy.”

Never underestimate how vacuous their female clientele is.

A big problem I have with them is that it appears they make yoga pants in sizes up to XXXXXXXL.

Really, they shouldn’t make anything bigger than medium.

These people don’t even know what these words mean. They’re like the obnoxious guy in the company meeting who obsessively uses corporate buzz words that mean absolutely nothing at all to sound smart and proactive. These companies (and their ad campaigners) are idiots and panderers and should be publicly mocked for their stupidity.

I think you hit the nail right on the head. They spout buzzwords without any clue of what they mean or the implications of them. $41 BILLION. Selling overpriced yoga pants to clueless drones who prattle on and on about how ‘marginalized’ they are. If the Stalinists actually manage to seize control, they will be among the first to find out what ‘marginalized’ really means.
