I wonder how much of the problem is actually about looking silly and how much is "what am I going to do with this hat/umbrella/fan when I enter a building?" These are all things I'd carry if I was going to be mostly outdoors, but if I'm going in and out of places then they become extra stuff I have to carry around and keep track of.
People will look back on fashions 100+ years ago and think of them as frivolous, non-functional, and the result of social pressure, which has some truth but like...
Half the US is boiling alive right now in 100+ degree heat indexes, and yet how many hats do you see? How many parasols? How many hand fans? Almost none.
Because in 2025, people would rather burn than "look silly" in a wide brim hat, or come off as some old movie lady by carrying a parasol/umbrella, or daring to wave a collapsible fan under their faces.
In many ways, we are more worried about fashion and aesthetics now than we ever have been.

Fucking hate watching children go “um Actually UwU” about AO3. saw someone say that fixing a bug with bookmarks isn’t a good reason to close a site down for a couple hours and they’re all lying about what they spend money on
meanwhile this very week my actual day job shut down the internal programmes for idk how many hours to fix a minor bug that popped up out of nowhere. I mean??? I don’t know shit about IT but “shut down all functions while we fix a problem” is so damn common. And “oh this took longer than we said” as well.

a common misconception is that a revolution is built by years of painstakingly raising class consciousness among the masses while at the same time building up a party capable of taking leadership during a revolutionary crisis. nothing could be further from the truth. a revolution is built by making social media posts calling for a general strike over and over until one day it just happens

“What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; one day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sound of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants brass fronted impudence; your shout of liberty and equality, hallow mockery; your prayers and hyms [sic], your sermons and thanks-givings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy – a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour.”
— Frederick Douglass (1818-1895), from a speech given at Rochester, New York, July 5, 1852.
