it's always "poor people food" that offends people most. https://twitter.com/Architecturpic/status/1280467722132795392
lol that account is all like "look at how depressing capitalist architecture is" & then they post like a million pictures of some rich European's house.
Capitalism is only bad when poor people do it.
woke, liberal anti-capitalism be like: "this McDonald's off of a Philadelphia highway is disgusting, anyway let's all gawk enviously at this white South African's palatial vineyard. it's eco friendly!"
This wealthy person's house?

This is also capitalist architecture. https://twitter.com/Architecturpic/status/1280434284600279040?s=19
this bathroom, decked out in marble mined by 12 year olds in the global south?

that's capitalist architecture. https://twitter.com/Architecturpic/status/1280210875668819968?s=19
this multi-million dollar mansion, no doubt occupied by someone with generational wealth?

capitalist architecture. https://twitter.com/Architecturpic/status/1279610804560527361?s=19
ppl seem to misunderstand.

I'm not advocating for the fast food hell of the OP.

I'm pointing how weird it is to point at that photo as "capitalist architecture" because it doesn't adhere to class based concepts of aesthetics.
eh, it's pointless to explain myself.
to the people objected to my saying it's "poor people food"

There are quotes around that phrase for a reason.
this is what is on offer to the poor.

a $0.99 factory farmed burger IS what poor people eat in this country.

idk, maybe you have access to a good food co-op, or are able to have your own garden.

that isn't extended to everyone.
a lot of cosmopolitan white leftists seem to forget this.
In Portland, fast food is frankly how a lot of unhoused people are able to eat.

it's not ideal, but it's not like they can ride their fixies to New Seasons.
so, yes, in a very real, materialistic sense...

a 99¢ burger IS poor people food.
