26. The pointless work
Thu Aug 11, 2022, 08:59 PM
Aug 2022

of maintaining a vanity supermarket is precisely what is killing the planet. It was never needed in the first place. Whole Foods is just another in the long litany marketing/re-branding schemes designed to enrich a shrinking minority of the rentier class.

Work for work's sake is nonsense. Hence why capitalists hate education, as they see schools as just another "market opportunity" to churn out cogs for the horror machine, gobbling up every last planetary resource.

Capitalists believe schools should create dutiful workers to fill jobs, not educate more enlightened human beings.
