I was wondering if anyone has any Marxist literature related to this topic, if it exists at all. Talking about “treats” is very much a part of the site’s culture, so I’m wondering if this part of hexbear has any grounding in the Marxist understanding of the world in the 21st century.
This is not a shitpost, I’m genuinely curious. Thanks! 
It’s more or less the same thing as calling someone a first-worlder. It’s an accusation that imperialism uses trinkets to distract and satiate first world subjects based on the labor of global South subjects.
