Mindfulness advocates unwittingly provide support for the status quo

Instead of discussing how attention is monetised and manipulated by large corporations such as Google and Facebook, we are told to find the crisis in our minds, saying it is our failure to be mindful and resilient in an unsure economy. 

If we are sad about being unemployed and losing our health insurance, the mindfulness revolution meekly accepts the circumstances, ruling out a way to critically engage with causes of suffering.

This submissive position is framed as freedom without the genuine freedom found within a cooperative and just society.
