Varn is a guy I often disagree with, but I still think most all of his takes are pretty solid

Right, yeah, there's an interesting sort of "third state" on that bimodal distribution of color.
I think that there are more advanced ways of understanding gender than lumping all nb people into just one color of "in-betweeness", but on a more basic level it shows that if something occurs bimodally, there is plenty of room for things to exist in between.
Any way someone could make this post more educational?
I read it as a "flawed illustration". I'm sure there's things left out of the allegory but idk what would be dunkable, I'm guessing there's something I don't know.
I could live with that
"socialism is when you agree with me and the more you agree with me the more socialister it is"
Damn I totally would expect "Spanish flu" to redirect to the scientific name of the disease.
Might happen, and it's not like they have to be the endgame either. Maybe they turn kinda soc-dem and stay there at some point.... Then it'd be up to a more-socialist Brazil (or something) to resolve the remaining contradictions (and then somewhere else after that, if socialist Brazil is hegemonic).

The cool thing is that it's not very well defined! I feel like these are interesting distinctions that each need a term:
- large business owners/shareholders/executives with close political connections/influence
- small/medium business owners/investors with extravagant wealth, some state or regional political connections.
- small business owners
- working small business owners with a handful of employees
- working small business owners with no employees
- professionals
- independent professionals
- independent professionals with employees
- managers
I've heard "petit-bourgeois" used to refer to more than one of these (some of them I just threw in there myself)
The parties and elaborate displays really took off in the mid-2010s, but it was often a big deal to announce it.
ETA: also, the original reveal party was done by a "mommyblogger" who held it because she and her partner were excited about their pregnancy after dealing with infertility issues. Slightly more understandable, but then people ran off with the concept. As others mentioned down thread, she has disavowed the concept since then and also hans a gnc child fwiw.
This is exactly something that happens around these parts as well tbh
It's absolutely a real thing
