Mike perfectly summarized the Catalonian independence movement:
To me, it seems a modern expression of neoliberal-infused identity politics and consumer “choice” as an expression of those politics.
If things don’t work, go buy a better model. If they really don’t work, buy a better identity.
I dig conversations with people who think consumerism is a political stance.
“If people want to XYZ, they should be free to do it!”
“Why?”
“Because it’s their choice!”
“So?”
“It’s what they chose!!!”
“So?”
“FREEDOM!!!”
