On bananananas
The causal evil and the sweeping corruption is I think dangerous.
Some of the most misogynistic people I ever met have been deeply religious; they would shame Jesus even though they claim him as their idol.
But this text is more about the casual evils, the rotting of the trust. Like picture this grocery store where I live, which is I think a prison. Not only of the mind, but actually a prison, as there is no way out without scanning first: a bar code.
I wanted to try positive thinking, so I made of it a subway station instead, but that is a lie: in a subway station, you scan to get in, whereas in a prison, you scan to get out.
In this prison are the fruits of greed and treachery on display: shrinking packages (shrinkflation), the lying of the boxes whose contents are filled with some unhealthy stuff they sneak in there and finally the bananas exploited from Africa by greedy capitalists!! I have seen this on TV.
I know all about the bananas 🍌
The rotten GMO bananas whose peels are sprayed with roundup (or something)
Don’t eat the peels!
No wonder then, that it feels morally exhausting to go shopping there, no wonder at all.
I saw a woman there once, fingering the danishes, asking whether there were any eggs in there or if it was milk?
”Who knows”, answered the cashier.
