Zapatista Barista

Zapatista Barista

Posted by Nutloaf

More like Stupid Barista. This is a fabulous example of the sort of
thing I hate about huppie markets. I'll bet they even have a frickin
trademark.

  1. So I am trying to get the problem. Even with my untrained mind. Is the problem that they are not just “come and get some coffee?”

  2. It’s mostly about co-opting anti-capitalist genuine movements into marketing gimmicks. The Zapatistas do some really amazing stuff but people like us take their name and use it to sell coffee to people who want to be identified with something a bit rad and revolutionary.

  3. I agree Ryan and you made me laugh too.

  4. Some cunning and radical proposals:

    Ryan: Stop going to markets!

    Libby: Stop going to blogs!

  5. Very wise and yet also quite radical.
