    Nobody is walking into a Lowes this time of year with "Giant inflatable pumpkin with a Santa Hat that goes 'Boo hoo ho'" on their shopping list. Its all impulse purchases, which is why they have to have them on display. Sure, a few karens, maybe, but I honestly think most people would simply never think about them again.

    I guess I'm talking about a world where you could magically make them disappear without telling anyone and see if anyone notices. If it became a stupid idpol/culture war, yeah, you're definitely right.

      That makes sense, I get what you mean when you provide that kind of example, and you're probably right. The key would be getting it banned/illegalized in the first place. Barring a successful revolutionary workers party coming to power, I see the culture war narrative as an inevitability. Capitalist class isn't just going to LET us have a cleaner and more humane existence, not when there's a buck to be made.
