High-end athletic apparel maker Lululemon has come under fire for inviting followers on Twitter to a workshop teaching people how to 'resist capitalism'.

Have President Trump nationalize the company and pass out their tight pants free at his campaign rallies. That is what they mean by “resist capitalism”: government ownership and use of the means of production - and usually for the personal benefit of whoever “Dear Leader” is at the time.

No way!? Did this company really do this? Good grief....

Recently, the stock price had gone so high that it was worth more, 53 billion...., than General Electric, Ford, General Motors....

What percentage of the World could look good, AND afford these clothes? It’s just spandex for crying out loud.

Everyone should resist buying their overpriced clothes.

Yep.

One set of rules for them, another for us peons.

I remember being in this particular store a few years ago - daughter is a yoga aficionado so I thought for her birthday I’d buy her a new bag to carry her gear around,etc.

I picked out an ordinary looking bag - then looked at the price - over $200! I was shocked at the price tag.

Ended up finding her a very similar bag at Target for a fraction of the price - and, a few years later, it’s still holding up.

Can someone please post pics?
So I can, uh, like, judge for myself?
I just want to be outraged at the company. Nothing to do with looking at hot girls in yoga pants.
Pinky swear.

My only beef is that Yoga pants were not in fashion when I was a youngster.

Truly its a Brave New World: radical, critical-theory, Neo-marxist slogans are now used to sell overpriced faux Yoga workout clothes to suburban women.
