> Under our neoliberal capitalist system, “individuals” have to find their own uniqueness and apply their “skills” to an oversaturated market. Capitalism requires unnecessary cultural competition.
> No. Queer culture means an eccentric and strange outsider culture against the normative.
you're washing a concept and changing its meaning from everyday use to some abstract definition, or an old dictionary one.

> For the sake of clarity, anyone on the far-right is “queer” because of their hatred against the liberal world.
