A four color image on a white background. In the center, three women wearing grecian dresses raise an offering toward the sky.

Commodifying Oppression: The Co-option of Resistance Aesthetic

There has become a market, driven by social media aesthetics, for the radical slogan, a marketing for leftist politics, and therefore, a market for continued oppression.
