Boutique Worldview

A children’s bookstore in Montreal features these books at $36CAD a pop:

The best thing is that the books have very little text. Here’s a random page:

This is the perfect embodiment of the boutique leftist philosophy of life. It’s expensive, pompous but completely empty.

  1. Wow! Who’d have thought that people would buy indoctrination manuals straight from a bookshop and that capitalism would co-opt Neo-Marxism just like any other trendy fashion? If someone had told me thirty years ago that it would come to this I would have said they were bonkers.

    And still, I have an inkling that my former friends in the Socialist Workers Party (ranging in ages from 60 to 90) are not satisfied yet. I wonder why that is…

    What is the abyss like that is being prepared for us? Can it get even more dystopian?

  3. I cannot explain it but I am extremely creeped out by these so-called books, especially when they “identify” as kids’ books. Eerie!

    1. A kids book about sexual abuse? What is the situation under which one would buy something like this? If a child has been sexually abused, isn’t a book a bit of a weird thing to try to repair the damage?

      1. “A kids book about sexual abuse?”

        I would bet… a lot, that the sub-text is “you’re nobody till you’ve been sexually abused, so this is how you go about it….”

        Some years ago feminists were trying to turn rape into a sacrement that all women should experience (not what they said they were doing, but….. what they were doing).

        Same vibes…

          1. There was a lot of literature directed at teens and twentysomethings when I was young, ‘exploring’ the subject of child abuse more generally. The outcome of that trend, intentional or not, seemed to be a sort of fad for everybody combing through their childhoods looking for the abuse. Because clearly, that was the way to have a dramatic life story. The essential element.

            These days it’s some kind of gender confusion or racial discrimination, I suppose.
