I just realized. You’re forgetting all the vegan and anarchist lifestyleist overpriced businesses. Seriously though, maybe some of these people can be informed of an actually effective and systematic way of dealing with the crises they say they care about?
Vegan businesses are absolutely a potential ally. Not sure what lifestyleist businesses you’re referring to. I think the biggest one to really figure out is businesses that people feel help them personally. This is why the far right are targeting self-improvement. They are tying people’s personal growth and genuinely felt changes in their material conditions to the fascist movement. The Vegan businesses have a potential role to play in that for the left, people that do make those transitions do genuinely feel a sense of personal accomplishment for having done so and find a sense of community in support and help that exists to make the transition.
I think a major aspect of this is that it’s sustainable radicalisation. Once you have a business embedded in a community doing this it really isn’t going anywhere if it’s making money. This is why pods and streams have been so beneficial too, but they only exist in the digital space there’s the physical community footholds to organise around have their own uses.

Really? I just went to an event with a ton of vegan stuff, largely overpriced and with clear petty bourgeois ideology. There’s a faux hippy aesthetic that a lot of people want to adopt, but I feel like the broader masses aren’t drawn to. Some people I’ve met actually think they’re doing what is needed for the planet by going on “eco friendly” trips by plane or something like that. Look at the messaging of companies like oatly and who gives a crap.

Ahh this group are the same group that bought into the Free Tibet and spiritualist mumbo. They’re ideologically closer to becoming the cryptocurrency libertarians coopting the word “anarchist” than to actual leftists. Burning man ideology. Steak served on a slate of wood instead of a plate ideology. Artisanal firewood ideology.
