Why does food and consumables suddenly have to become political?
When will my Steak have Trumps Face printed on it? Do my cornflakes need some jets and other kind of political messages on it? Fuck no.
I just want to eat and drink. And the only thing I need to know from the packaging is what the product is about. Just stop making food political, what the hell is wrong with this world.
Some stupid print on the package is not going to fix this world in any way.
There is no driver of division to rival missionary behaviour.
How would you react if someone prints Jesus Christ, hanging on the cross with bloody hands and feet onto your favourite beer. With a face of pure agony and some letters addressing charity?
Or how would you react if some company prints advertisement of Scientology onto their products.
The only thing that belongs onto a product is something to identify the brand, the expiry date, and what it actually contains.
What for do you need representation? I don’t need it. I don’t even know what should or could represent me.
I don’t identify with anything. I am just my self as I am. What use would it have to identify with something? None.
It’s purely corporations trying to make capital gains off cultural phenomena (useless currents that will fizzle out just to get replaced with the next trend - LGB was followed by LGBT and was followed by LGBTQIA+++, it’s the endless progression of a subculture, something big corporation can milk like Star Wars or any other brandable shit), it’s like some Christian dumbass buying a beer because some tortured guy is printed on it.
It has become so laughable nowadays, that Id imagine only some “woke” boomers would fall for it. But nope. Tons of stupid people from all age groups are celebrating their own belief of being rebellious and innovative, or shall I say the belief to improve the world. And big corporations love it. They love the drama and the attention they can generate with the trend hunters.
