this is the kind of shit i’m talking about. i do not trust this in the slightest. why have the Powers That Be decided it’s now in their interests to push this kind of messaging? i can’t imagine anything good

substitute “rebellious” with “spiritual” here
Quote Tweet
"Rebellious impulses are co-opted by the System in the service of the social changes it requires; activists "rebel" against the old and outmoded values that are no longer of use to the System and in favor of the new values that the System needs us to accept."

I think the bigger problem is when the wellness industry tells us meditation and yoga are the solution, and if we still have cluster migraines or scoliosis or cancer or whatever, it’s because we weren’t mindful enough — our fault for not healing.
