"we are also increasingly concerned when there’s like poverty cosplay passed off as, like, 'radical' or 'late capitalism commentary'."
I have been thinking a lot about this lately. We graduated from Tiny Homes to duct tape (see also: Balenciaga packing tape bracelet)... it's a very bizarre trend. I don't mind it if its trying to make a social statement, but in this case it doesn't seem so, the statement has seemingly nothing to do with the actual poverty epidemic. Mostly, the statement is "look how rich i am that I can pay a stupid amount of money for this expensive nonsense." Questionable.
Was a great recap, and cured our slight fomo.
