core part of a suite of views held by the progressives Отличная статья https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/12/2 о том, каким образом арафатка стала моднейшим аксессуаром, а плакат с палестинским флагом и "from the river to the sea" занял ту же нишу, которую за 20 лет до него занимали портреты Че Гевары. Keffiyeh chic is all the rage. You're no one unless you have one of these black-and-white scarves that are widely worn in the Palestinian territories. Student radicals, celebrities, Guardian-reading dads on their way for a macchiato - everyone has a keffiyeh draped over their shoulders. It has become the uniform of the politically enlightened, the must-have of the socially aware. They're 'all over Europe', as one writer says; every time there's a 'pro-Palestine' demo you'll be confronted by 'a sea of these garments'. Even the mega-rich are getting in on the act - Balenciaga once made a high-end keffiyeh that will set you back 3,000 pounds. But then, you can't put a price on virtue-signalling. The cult of the keffiyeh is proof that Palestine has become, in the words of Jake Wallis Simons, the great 'social signifier' of the radically chic of the Western world. Pitying Palestine, and by extension hating Israel, has become a 'core part of a suite of views held by the progressives who set the tenor of much of our culture', he writes. It has become the 'luxury belief ' du jour, the means by which one's social worth is measured. This goes way beyond 'cultural appropriation' - it is the wholesale moral appropriation of an entire people and their plight by the political intimates of high society with virtue to advertise. * * * Привет Current Mood: |
