We used to be a country. A proper country. I would wake up and there would be a large African American woman smiling on my syrup bottle, and I knew everything would be okay.

I got real maple syrup awhile back and it was like 4x more expensive and I actually liked it less than the fake shit. :(

Friend in high school had family near Canada that made maple syrup from their trees and she used to give me a full bottle whenever I needed it. It was liquid gold and she moved away so I have to buy it, but it’s not as good :deeper-sadness:

That’s what food made with unalienated labor tastes like. You can’t buy that in a store.

That and no profit motive to drive corner cutting and cost saving. Wild what even small amounts of non-capitalist production can achieve

Americans in the 1980s: “You can’t put a black person on your marketing material that’s disgusting I hate it I’ll never buy your product again!!!”

Americans in the 2020s: “Put it back! Put it back! Put it back! Whaaaaaaat!”

Nation of fucking babies.

I have a coworker that refills his aunt Jemima bottle. As I’m sure you guessed, he’s an amazing politics understander.
