as if we didn't have enough identities to divide us into various sects, tribes, associations, nations, parties, and dilettante tweeters this cropped up in today's covid obsessed new york times...
if you have paid any attention you have a fair idea of which vaccine i received for my first injection and, presumably, will for my second ( which i will get in a couple of weeks even though i am more than a bit skeptical about its effectiveness and have some thought that this may be a gigantic misallocation of resources ) but i will be damned ( and there are no doubt evangelicals who think i will...they may think what they like ) if i am getting a fucking t-shirt to advertize yet another branding opportunity, this time for big pharma...corporate tentacles are so intertwined with what passes for culture here that even though the article says it started as "fun" the hegemons are cackling at the thought of pfizer or morderna shirts and coffee mugs out there as a profitable addtion to all the qanon ones...the social engineering has been going on a long time...it just isn't the "liberal conspiracy" the trumpists think it is...they have a right to be angry...you may have noticed i can be as well...i haven't disputed that...their anger is seriously misdirected.
