My last post in this series on We Have Never Been Woke by Musa al-Gharbi ended by mentioning another form of symbolic capital very valuable to symbolic capitalists, particularly with the advent of victimhood culture – what al-Gharbi calls totemic capital. As he describes the concept, In sociological terms, a totem is a sacred symbol that represents a people; it marks an essence they are uniquely bonded to; it connects their past with the present; it links the fates of totem bearers and endows them with distinct social proprieties. If we understand labels like “Black,” “LGBTQ ,” “disabled,” “woman,” and so on…

Thomas Frank admitted Tottenham supporters were justified in booing his team after a dismal 1-0 home defeat to Bournemouth brought an abrupt halt to his promising start as head coach. The Danish manager had overseen an impressive victory at Manchester City only a week earlier and capped off the momentum with Friday’s high-profile signing of Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig.

Frank had enjoyed a strong record against the Cherries, winning seven of…

By attempting to fire Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook this week, President Donald Trump has broken with decades of precedent in American central banking. Governors are appointed for 14 years, specifically to insulate them from political pressure. Trump’s actions are now raising fundamental questions not only about the direction of Fed policy, but about the basic constitutional foundations of its work. What practical effects does the Federal Reserve’s independence have on its monetary work? What effect does political pressure have on interest rates? And what would an explicitly politicized Fed look like? Those are just a few of the questions…

Marcus Rashford may be earning a reported £12m while on loan at Barcelona for the 2025/26 season, but his furniture choices show he’s keeping things surprisingly down-to-earth.Despite the salary that would allow him to deck out his new apartment with luxury Spanish design, Rashford was recently spotted making a very ordinary shopping trip… to IKEA.
