The anti-capitalist symbols of yesteryear are gone. The blistered hands, muscles crabbed from overwork, withered seamstresses with scarred fingers, barefoot children operating heavy machinery, soot-faced dogsbodies stealing a break in an unlit corner with half a cigarette — all were common manifestations of the working man's struggle. They were the images Karl Marx invoked in his intellectual jeremiad against the "bourgeois class" and the laborers "daily and hourly enslaved by the machine." Today, calls for tossing capitalism overboard are joined with a different kind of semiotics, one more modern but not nearly as heart moving. Gone are the mangled appendages in service to a pittance; in are trim grad students wearing Lycra joggers, doing calisthenics in Greenwich Village Orangetheory. Lululemon, the posh athletic-wear clothier, recently spotlighted yogini Rebby Kern, a self-described "social justice warrior" who hosts anti-racism lectures alongside teaching women to contort their bodies into the posture of a pigeon. The advert for Kern's struggle session...er….seminar describes it as "a workshop to unveil historical erasure & resist capitalism." Lululemon promoted it on its Instagram profile, pari passu with perfectly focused pictures of $150 sweatpants.

I wonder if Lululemon sweat pants will fit over a MFL player wearing fully loaded black pampers.
Everything the left touches turns to chit. That’s why they want to eliminate small business. They can’t infiltrate it. But they sure can tax it to death.
Capitalism is another institution they marched through. The Left figured out that they could spread their poison through the market just as easily as through the government, maybe more efficiently. It was never really about economics. That’s why the “Right” was directed into talking about it so much.
The debate of the last 30 years has boiled down to “Sure, we will argue some against your tax cuts to keep up the pretense, but we don’t really care, because we have an army of trannies and other perverts ready to introduce to your children.”
Exactly. Conformity to the ruling class and bend the knee to their utmost and most recent whims. There will be no history, no future, only the present. Dictated to you by your rulers.
Forced speech is a violation of free speech rights. A company saying “You will say you’re an evil racist oppressor if you want to keep your job” is violating your free speech rights.
This is why liberals are hiding behind the “the First amendment/free speech is only oppressive if silenced by the state”.
And liberal lynch mobs are adrenaline addicts. They get a high chasing the target. First it was the daily two minute hate, “get them”, for whoever the digital lynch mob target was. Now it is daily policing and oppression, attacking people for wearing MAGA hats or not wearing a mask.
It is deliberate sexual imprinting. That’s the only reason to push drag queen story time and reading stories to six year olds about the prince who decides he’s a princess.
