I'm Sure The Children Of Gaza Are Happy To Hear Your Yoga Practice Goes Well

It's only when you start seeing articles about yoga in the Wall Street Journal - that chronicler of American capitalism, chaos, and corruption - that you understand what Slavoj Žižek meant in 2001, when he said, "New Age is establishing itself as the hegemonic ideology of global capitalism." 

 Remember, Buddha:

The Pancake Man's Two In A Row (For The Win,...)

Good ol' Slavoj Žižek - the sorta-friendly Marxist who declared "New Age 'Asiatic' thought is establishing itself as the hegemonic ideology of global capitalism" - has a newer statement of merit:

'Humanity is OK, but 99% of people are boring idiots'
