i will note again that there is a really unhealthy, unpleasant and strong current of consumerism that runs through the left in a way that genuinely didn’t used to be true
The responses this post is getting, combined with the animating grievances of large swathes of politics, has convinced me we need a kind of society wide PSA about how Buying Things Is Optional.

I asked the NYT why it played the “No Kings” parades—which drew an estimated 5 million+ protesters—with two small photos below the fold on their Sunday Page One, teasing to a story on page 23.

Forget "Is Platner fascist in his heart." Facts:

Does any of this display good judgement

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something
