Relax. With these economic trends, I'm pretty sure we'll all end up there.

Except who tf can afford it? Granted, this is the organic stuff, but excuse me if I prefer not to feed my kids chemical-filled junk.

We've been eating shit for decades due to capitalism and parasitic billionaires, dirt is a step up.

Pretty much all of human history really. We cannot self govern without segregating into the haves and have nots.

That's a racist myth. White supremacists want you to think it doesn't get any better than Europe, but it does. Google indigenous communism.

We cannot self govern without segregating into the haves and have nots.

We can self-govern fine without this dichotomy, it's just that the "haves" don't want you to think it's possible and they have the means of reinforcing their narrative, and the have-nots do not have a voice.

While yes, it's been this way for a long time, it's not the rule and no more required to our survival than a thousand other false essentialist ideas we've discarded along the path through history.
