"A tongue-in-cheek look at what it means that Leftists want low production farming (no pesticides, no GMO, etc.) and have a new reverence for fat models.
The elite always casts itself in opposition to the hoi polloi.
It has done so since time immemorial.In prehistoric times, back about 25,000 years ago, when starvation was the norm, the most revered female figures were fat, really, really fat, as you can see from these pictures of several Paleolithic Venuses.
Similar ones can be found all over Europe and most ancient cultures have little fat feminine figures that were obviously meant for worship or luck...
...The Middle Ages were famous for (among other things), their sumptuary laws, the sole purpose of which was to use the power of the state to ensure that peasants didn’t look like aristocrats.
...One of the most interesting transformations in class distinctions came about with the rise of office girls.
When poor people worked in the fields and people of stature didn’t work at all, the apex of feminine beauty was lily-white skin, a trend that lasted even as the lowest of low classes left the fields for 80 hour weeks in factories.
The factory workers’ pallor was so unhealthy it could never be mistaken for the pearlescent glow of the idle rich.
Things changed, though, when young women left dusty, unhealthy factories and moved into offices. Suddenly, they too had white complexions.
And because they were earning decent money, they could afford clothes that, at least from a distance, aped their “betters.”
So what happened?
The rich suddenly discovered sun bathing
...The way I see it (and I’ll just remind you that I’m being tongue-in-cheek here), we’re being prepared for another division between the elite and the rest of us.
...I call it the hungering.
This hungering will end up with ordinary people in America being very skinny.
So if the riffraff are skinny, what will the next generation of models look like?
...To say that the above young women are reminiscent of the Paleolithic Venuses is not meant to be fat shaming, because I’m not making any judgment about their health, beauty, sexual desirability, or anything else.
It’s just a statement — and a reminder that the elite always likes to keep itself separate from the rest of us.
My prediction for the future is that we little people will get the hungering, while the elite will flaunt the super fat models.
