🤔 so anyone that drunks starbucks coffee is complicit in all those bad acts occurring and further rewarding those that are profiting from these many injustices...and they say they are humanitarian!
"Just the other day, I was in my neighborhood Starbucks,
waiting for the post office to open.
I was enjoying a chocolatey cafe mocha
when it occurred to me that to drink a mocha
is to gulp down the entire history of the New World.
From the Spanish exportation of Aztec cacao,
and the Dutch invention of the chemical process for making cocoa,
on down to the capitalist empire of Hershey, PA,
and the lifestyle marketing of Seattle's Starbucks,
the modern mocha is a bittersweet concoction
of imperialism, genocide, invention, and consumerism
served with whipped cream on top.
No wonder it costs so much."
