The Ultimate Critical Theory Gift Guide

Unfortunately, a well-reasoned critique of consumer capitalism isn’t enough to stop the tears of your betrayed loved ones when you have rightfully boycotted “The Holidays.” And while “planting a tree in your name” seems to be entirely socially acceptable, “I wrote your name on a rock and threw it at a cop” seems not to be.

“I don’t want anything” seems to be equally taboo.

So, for all of those who have to shop for a critical theorist, radical or metaphysical asshole, you may behold the commodification of the revolution.
