Not sure what lifestyleist businesses you're referring to.

Really? I just went to an event with a ton of vegan stuff, largely overpriced and with clear petty bourgeois ideology. There’s a faux hippy aesthetic that a lot of people want to adopt, but I feel like the broader masses aren’t drawn to. Some people I’ve met actually think they’re doing what is needed for the planet by going on “eco friendly” trips by plane or something like that. Look at the messaging of companies like oatly and who gives a crap.

    Ahh this group are the same group that bought into the Free Tibet and spiritualist mumbo. They're ideologically closer to becoming the cryptocurrency libertarians coopting the word "anarchist" than to actual leftists. Burning man ideology. Steak served on a slate of wood instead of a plate ideology. Artisanal firewood ideology.
