Not all men or women who wear suits disgust me. It is only the ones who I can tell have been spending countless hours in the mirror creating the most polished and cold “professional” image of themselves who I find particularly gross. Their submission to the suit culture screams “I will do anything for the reward of a paycheck. ANYTHING”. The desperation, pathetic subordination and auctioning-off of their personality is disguised as “professional success”. Beware, these are the cars salesmen and women you should never trust.
Don’t mistake for a minute the value of a nice suit. Suits look great. They make fat assholes look thin, corrupt leaders look legit, and women look male and “mean” enough to climb the corporate ladder. But all too often suits are worn by people who have sold themselves to the devil.
Poor J D Vance could no longer suppress his jealousy towards President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine during their meeting at the Oval Office. As people are butchered in Ukraine, Vance decided to talk about more important things: “Why aren’t you wearing a suit?” Why should Vance have to put in all this effort every morning to make his pigface, fascist mug look professional when the other guy doesn’t even try? He goes the extra mile with crisp shirts, even putting on eye shadow to look extra mean, and the other guy shows up in civilian clothing. Not fair.
The reason Vance is upset is because Zelenskyy has exposed the pantomime drag show that is politics. Zelenskyy refuses to put on a costume. He’d rather come as his self, as the real deal, rather than a dancing drag queen with a fetish for eye shadow.
If you decided to be a fascist pig scumbag and a drag queen Vance, honey that’s all on you, and you can slay that game if you want to. We’re all up for gender fluidity over here. It’s just that there is a war going on, and we have more important things to discuss than wardrobe.
Not too long ago I was a hungry little boy myself, spending much of my Sunday afternoon ironing all my shirts and pants for the week so that I look “professional” in my corporate job. But looking professional does not make you professional. It most likely makes you a conformist asshole in a suit who deep down hates their huge weekly dry-cleaning and eye make-up bill.

Gosh, not worn a suit in last 20 years, probably longer for a tie.
It’s illegal under the Geneva Convention to wear the uniform of your enemy, so why would I?
Exactly, thank you! But beware when the Enemy figures this out and starts the cultural-appropriation of real people by wearing “civvies.” Like recently when certain Cdn pols shed their suits to appeal to the masses. That is the inverse of wearing the uniform of the enemy, and just as immoral. Otherwise known as impostors. And when the “Business Suit” appeared on govt officials, you should have known about the ongoing takeover of govt by Business. As John Dewey said in 1905: “Politics is the shadow cast upon society by big business.”
haha fair enough!
