How class became aesthetic. A counter to the ‘Long March’ of wokism theory:

The universalization of wokeness and its institutional expression was not the result of a hostile ideological palace coup ala the ‘Long March’ narrative, but a reflection of the aggregate values of the predominant class interest.

I think this is only surprising to people who have not done any sociology. You would learn about Pierre Bourdieu, or whoever else, on social and cultural capital, and you would be very clear about the aesthetic value in class relations. You would then observe that the importance of aesthetics is growing and the importance of any given proper noun is declining. You would make the obvious conclusion and not feel particularly inspired to write an article about how wet the water is. That said, you might feel inclined to write an article about how to hijack this to make your groups stronger. I did.

That said, the article is nice for those who missed sociology 101 or any kind of foundation social psych.
