I think they have an absurd concept of an UWU SOFT WOMYN-LED COMMUNE UTOPIA where large multicultural non-binary womyn engage in gentle movements, wear silk sarongs and create empowering art pieces all day in the shade of delightful fruit trees. Every obese person who claims a thyroid problem and fibro will be given a gentle, understanding pat on the head and allowed to work from home on whatever brings them the most joy, regardless of demand for it.And even if you were so far gone mentally you couldnt work? Loafing at home? LOL NO. You'd be packed off to an institution to weave baskets.
And if you were genuinely incapable? You're a useless eater. At best, no medical treatment to stop you dying a preventable death, at worst, you're going to be killed.
I dunno how the fuck that translates to them also getting their Starbucks coffees with ingredients driven via trucks over long roads from far-off destinations and timed logistically perfectly to arrive fresh and made at maximum speed by baristas so they’re never left waiting more than five minutes. And let’s not forget the dirt cheap “witchy” clothing that they can afford to buy more than one piece of every month because it’s literally sewn by underaged slave labour in a third-world country. Or having nice flats built for them to hoard crystals and tarot junk in, or public plumbing, or any less glitzy job.
I think these people just imagine that there’s some large, faceless demographic that really LOVES cleaning public latrines and is happy to do it. They overestimate how many people would LOVE to do hard, thankless labour instead of sitting on their arse playing Stardew Valley.
I’ve done art pieces for some threads on this site, it’s not much of a PL to state that I am an artist...and even I know there isn’t nearly as much demand for art as people like to hope. No one needs a downtown mural of femme-leaning POCs when the roads downtown have potholes the size of trolleys in them and no work crew is maintaining them and also the street lights don’t work because the municipal buildings in charge of that stuff are all understaffed.
