    True, capitalism commodifies everything, but it always has a doublethink view of dissent and rebellion. They’re okay as long as the bad guys are a clearly evil empire (as in Star Wars) but not if it’s the US or conventional culture in general. I mean, Disney isn’t gonna mek a series about the adventures of the Black Panthers unless it alreadty has an established swag market.
