It's the curse of being a leftist. I walk past a coffee shop and think about how there are no third spaces left to hang out for free. Because they were systematically destroyed, in order to separate the people into individuals, and at the same time commodify their leisure at ever growing costs. How there are so many people working miserable jobs in those coffee shops, jobs that we don't need in the first place. About the chains that have swallowed all the individual businesses that could've been of higher quality, had better working conditions and pay. About the bench outside with extra railings, so that the unhoused people couldn't sleep on it. They're forced to sleep in designated "bad hoods", from where they will eventually be kicked out by ~~pigs~~ filth so that their hoods can be gentrified. And all those freshly gentrified hoods will have tons of empty condos that would never house even one of those displaced people...
Then I smoke a joint, watch some cute animal videos, and forget about it until the next time I walk past a coffee shop.
