Western lgbt culture is is pretty much just capitalism

A truly brilliant observation from a genius with the keenest sense of observation.

Nobody would have ever figured out that a subculture within the overwhelmingly capitalist west was also capitalist!

I haven't been on raddle for a week and I'm already burned out.

Also nothing about any of these is inherently capitalistic. Fashion, drinking establishments and sex toys have existed much, much longer than capitalism.

is that implying that there cannot be such thing as a non-capitalist or counter-capitalist subculture in the West?

No. That's why I said "a" subculture instead of just "subcultures".

The thing is, an overwhelming number of subcultures within a capitalist culture is going to be capitalist.

Like, if a group of anti-capitalists come together and form a community in an area and develop a sub-culture, it would be anti/non-capitalist by nature but it would drowned out by the sheer number of other capitalist subcultures.

They're the "exceptions that prove the rule", basically.

But, yeah, non-capitalist or counter-capitalist subcultures can and do exist in the West.
