exploiting slave labor so you can prove how patriotic you are, just like jesus would do. we'll take coffee from the 3rd world, but not the people who live there

I mean, Bolivia has a socialist President, so chances are the workers aren't actually as exploited as they could be elsewhere.
Not sure how that limits exploitation.
Just a few examples: Bolivia has universal healthcare for all citizens. The US does not. Bolivia has a minimum 10-30 days of annual leave mandated by law (depending on how long you've worked), the US has 0. Bolivia has 13 weeks of maternity leave at 95% pay, the US has... well it's complicated.
the US has… well it’s complicated.
Jack shit. If it's not federal, it's not something the US has
Yeah, I know. I wanted to err on the side of caution. I could have said "The US has 0" but didn't want someone to show up with "well actually in my state..."
Who cares what the USA has? They voted Trump. Look at the EU, Japan, ...
This thread seems to be about right-wing Americans getting their "non-woke" coffee from Bolivia so that's what I used for my comparison.
But sure, let's compare it to Europe:
Overall: not perfect but also not bad for a relatively small country in South America with a GDP that's way lower than most of Europe.
Plus we all know what happens to South American countries who get a little too left / helpful to workers
Do they know that brown people touch their coffee? I don't know but that diversity bullshit sounds pretty woke to me
Standing for something sounds woke. I don't buy this coffee.
anti-woke woke mind virus.
Wouldn't "woke-free" coffee just be decaf?
For real renegades who love their president, their landlord and the police.
Two things: First, coffee became an “American” beverage after the Boston Tea Party (though, iirc beer remained a significant breakfast beverage for awhile). Coffee houses were also places for patriotic discussions and where the revolutionary zeal was fostered. So you have some MAGA types wanting to tap into that.
Second, dark roasting coffee is an old trick to cover the flavor of inconsistent and shitty coffee. Some people really like to taste the “roast.” But what’s happening is that a burnt flavor is masking the actual taste of a coffee bean. You want a light roast to actually taste the coffee.
Also, if I’m not mistaken, it was the French who first came up with dark roasting coffee (likely for preservation reasons). I’m sure MAGA would love to know that their “dark, hard-hitting” coffee has its flavor profile originating in France.
Dark roast is also less caffeinated than a light roast. The roasting reduces the caffeine content by about 20%.
Its people being arrogant about drinking weaker, worst tasting coffee.
So weird how they are saying single origin small batch and then they go and burn the shit out of the beans.
There is a medium roast as well. I picked one flavor at semi-random.
Jesus H. Christ, I thought this coffee was satire. I need some eyebleach.
Trump merchandise is insane.
If this is serious i'd be okay if the simulation suddenly stopped right now. And i'm afraid you are serious. At this point it just stops making sense to me.
Someone needs to go on a quest to find the big red button...
"hits harder than trumps tariffs" is a phrase I'm really getting sick of.
My wife watches shorts all the time and I keep hearing people saying that in them.
Woke-free and rich from the mountains of Bolivia
You mean, you are rich from endorsing the harvesting of coffee from underpaid Bolivian farmers who work 16 hours a day?
"This isn't your latte-sipping liberal twig boy coffee. This is an anti WOKE blend grown and harvested in non-free trade prison plantations using pesticides banned by the Geneva convention and common human decency for that delicious taste of freedom. These beans are carefully grown by kidnapped indigenous children under gunpoint of the watchful eye of the revolutionary guerilla army deep in the jungles of Bolivia. Artisanal roasters working for just 20 cents a day create a flavor profile that's more bitter than the pain of their existence. Try 1775 today and show those libs that you're not just a piece of shit with poor taste, you're a Trump-loving conservative. For a limited time for every bag you purchase, we'll donate 25 cents to the Israeli Defense fund Bombs for Kids. Order now!"
Put it in that ridiculous T-shirt font and grift away
"Woke free" just tells me they don't know shit about fuck.
Idk, I could believe it was harvested by slaves
The look on the woman is what I imagine you do when just had a sip of this coffee.
Do you folks like coffee?

The idea of anti-woke coffee just makes me chuckle. What's the inverse of biting the onion, because that's what I did here.
Spitting the onion?
@federalreverse Yeah one quick question. How in the heck in the world did coffee become woke? 😂
The coffee is actually USDA Organic and they call it "ethically sourced" ... which sounds incredibly woke and social-justicy. But I am sure they fully embrace the irony.
And they have a handy table on the topic actually. One of the items is "supports FREE SPEECH".
Wait, their fuckin coffee TALKS!!?!
