      Defending false consciousness peddled by capitalists on the basis that it's marketed to women is just giving porky an easy shield against criticism.

        Gmers are also viciously bigotted, whereas I’ve never seen someone who likes crystals whine about minorities using crystals or something, idk what stupid things Gmers complain about.

        Yeah, unfortunately new-age people actually often are like that, though. You can see further up this thread people discussing the history of reactionary new-age movements.

              That explanation of anything spirtiual somehow being fash is honestly grasping imo, but I’m headed out to protest and don’t have time to argue about it.

              That's definitely not what I said. I'm saying that new-age shit can often be fash-adjacent, especially (for obvious reasons) when it's white people doing it (cultural appropriation and all). When it's traditional indigenous cultural practices, it's by definition not new-age anyways.

        I’m pretty sure I could find some obscure YT channels that would change this…
