When the very idea of society is corroded in the name of market efficiency, the available lexicon to authentically express anything inevitably shrinks to the point that everything must be bent around the soulless logic of money and corporate brands. It’s thanks to this takeover that even the most patently evil companies on earth can display floats at LGBTQ Pride and that big corporate blockbusters are now seen as a central terrain of cultural struggle while genuine or programmatic resistance to inequality and racism is marginalized and ignored.

Think of the highly-decorated vehicles carrying dancers and musicians at something like the carnival in Rio de Janeiro. You can see quite a lot of them HERE.

Evil companies can sponsor fashionable things that cover up their activities and stop the genuine struggle for equality. (According to the writer)
