Literally just a really good exercise to develop genuine empathy for the global south and have your antiimperialist sentiment more grounded and being aware of how you benefit from it is just. Holding a product in your hand and think about all of the people who made it possible. not only who harvested the coffee beans from your instant and who roasted them or who harvested the cotton from your shirt and who spun at and wove it, but also who made the paper, plastic, cardboard, inks of the packaging, who delivered the goods necessary from one place to another, all the way to your supermarket, store of your convenience, or even your home.
👉 I’m with you on all these things except instant coffee. For it there’s no raison d'être. Good slow strong coffee or nothing at all ☕☕
Couldn’t make up this response if I wanted. I recommend touching some grass. Once or twice a week for a month will do.
