they're manifestations of politics. they're all about manipulation to advance political goals.

No, it’s the oppressed revolting

Who's oppressing them? The oligarchs support them

>>15743662
If you feel oppressed go back to your home country. You're free to do that, since you're not really a slave who is oppressed.

Lip-service is the disavowal of support. You obviously haven't read much philosophy.

I've read plenty of Derrida but never have seen him once mention 'performative sign' ... what are you talking about?

No, the corporation Kneejerks like taking certain episodes or problematic media off of Netflix, or announcing cartoon characters need to match the ethnicity of their voice artists is a performative gesture.
Same with any corporation that turns their avatar to the rainbow or non-binary flag, 'countersigning' if you will.
You also need to distinguish between the Black Lives Matter organization, which is a Democrat proxy group, and the protests and revolts, and also from Antifa who parasitically have taken advantage of these revolts to their own ends.
That already nebulous collocation is not connected to the Transgender movement (I'm pretty sure radical Black activists hate the co-opting of their movement by the LGBTQ+ community, both because they are more likely to be religiously conservative, and because they feel it's wypipol taking stuff from them), which is less capital manipulating the performative sign, and more middle-class white consumers engaging in performative, virtue signaling gestures: purchasing from this brand because they put a rainbow flag on their twitter account.
More than 60% of all purchase decisions are made by women.

Sign is the empty carrier of content, the tomb, it can't be Austin's performative.

Its a counter revolution in favor of the establishment

>>15743575
The redirection of anti-police protests towards syrup labels and the tearing down of statues - i.e. the symbols of material power differentials - is capital manipulating the symbology of struggle to its benefit

>>15743662
Revolting against an imagined enemy.

No, it's just what happens in years divisible by 4.

>>15747902
as if this establishment wasnt established by means of a revolution

>yfw there are people who simultaneously believe that blacks are a revolutionary anticapitalist subject and that advertising doesn't work

>Who's oppressing them?
The system, roughly speaking.
Things are complicated, though, because the same system is also protecting them and feeding them and they wouldn't survive without it. But yeah.

>>15748215
the average citizen is not oppressed by the system unless he is a fat gay autoandrophilic black transgender queer pan africanis?

>>15748322
Technically, everyone is oppressed at least a little bit. You have to make compromises for a functioning society.
But yeah, if you're, say, a tranny you're going to be oppressed more. No matter what the media say, most people still find trannies kinda disgusting.

>>15748336
>most people still find trannies kinda disgusting.
