“
If we acknowledged that young, queer, poor, working-class, disabled, single, and racialized mothers are perfectly good at love and perfectly brilliant at supporting and sustaining life even if (or especially) they decide NOT to be bullied into a c-section by know-it-all doctors, how on earth would we get oppressed people to buy so much stuff despite their negligible disposable income? How would we get people to feel so inadequate about their their whatever”lessness” maybe it’s “worthlessness” that they give up on the messy delicious sustenance of honest relationships between people and turn to the refuge of value by proxy…buying cool stuff. Because my people aren’t dumb you know…and the only way you get brilliant people to act competely in opposition to their own interests is through a concerted effort to trample their self-esteem and believe that they will be loved.
