As capitalist, he is only capital personified. His soul is the soul of capital. But capital has one single life impulse, the tendency to create value and surplus-value, to make its constant factor, the means of production, absorb the greatest possible amount of surplus-labour. Capital is dead labour, that, vampire-like, only lives by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks.
I’m starting to think Marx wasn’t just using an allegory there.
Chinese garlic growers develop holy water irrigation system, but at what cost?
I’m glad this country is so stable that Fucking Garlic can strike fear into our hearts, great sign for us
These people are vampires.
Vampires are often allegory for aristocrats, but I think they can represent capitalists as well, because both classes are parasites in their respective time periods.
Is there any piece of media that depicts a vampire with capitalist aesthetic?
The classic world of darkness has a vampire clan associated with capitalists called the Ventrue.
Here is some info from the white wolf wiki. https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Ventrue_(VTM)
A lot of vampires in WoD are capitalists because, as we know even from capeshit, money is the best superpower. Sure, you can skulk in sewers like some Nosferatu but not even the Second Inquisition in the new shitty grimdark version of WoD is able to do much to billionaire.
Then there is the Syndicate branch of the Technocracy which are the embodiment of capitalism itself. They work for the technocracy but they are hypocrites that use very vulgar magic. They also have a subsidiary that is an oil corporation Pentex that is even more evil than the average oil corporation.
I mean, the original Dracula movies were usually about some Mysterious Count who lives apart from society, follows old traditions and hunts those with less power than himself, physically or societally. That already seems like an indictment of the current system as is, even if Counts existed before Capitalism did.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I’m really trying not to make a joke about white people considering spices and aromatics a national security threat.
Oddly enough, garlic was Mussolini’s favorite food, he would eat like 2-3 whole cloves of garlic with olive oil. What a fucking freak
Garlic confit is the shit.
Add a whole clove to a bowl and cover with olive oil, bake at 250 for a while and the garlic turns into basically a butter spread.
Roasted garlic can be pretty nice though. I wouldn’t just eat it on it’s own though, it’s good as part of a meal.
Garlic don’t count. Idk about anglos but in continental Europe garlic is present in nearly every national cuisine, to a various degree.
I went looking for stats because of this and apparently China grows 75 motherfucking percent of the world’s garlic. I knew we love garlic but I didn’t know we grew so much of it!
China grows about 20 million tons, followed by India at about 3 million, then number three is Bangladesh with about half a million. America is number 11 with only 175k tons.
I hope you Yanks enjoy your inevitable corn-based garlic-style seasoning powder soon.
Another weird stat, given how incredibly easy it is grow garlic:
Step 1) Put clove in soil
Step 2) Get more garlic
The soil part isn’t even really mandatory the fuckers will try to make more garlic if you forget about them in a dark cupboard.
Might reflect many honkeys being allergic to flavor.
I hope you Yanks enjoy your inevitable corn-based garlic-style seasoning powder soon.
It will be so
COMMUNIST CHINA
I swear to defend my country against enemies both foreign and domestic, whole or separated into constituent cloves, whether or not peeled, chilled, fresh, frozen, provisionally preserved or packed in water or other neutral substance, and the threat they pose to US. national security.🤣
Food safety (…) is an existential emergency that poses (a) grave threat to our (…) economic prosperity
Fixed to reflect the priorites of our corn syrup-based government
The economic prosperity part was the big give-away
They did this with Iran and pistachios too. The Wonderful company lobbied to stop imports of Iranian pistachios because they were competition.
Is that why pistachios are so goddamn expensive for the past few years? Or was that going to happen anyway?
Wonderful has $3.6 billion dollars worth of agricultural land in California. They also own a lot of water rights in the state. The water restrictions you hear about? Guess why it’s hard to get water to all the houses that have popped up over the last couple of decades.
I like my tree nuts, but why they have to make it so unethical to enjoy…?
possibly. pistachios are Iran’s biggest export after petroleum products iirc
i knew it, USA is ruled by fkn vampires!
Guess the Fentanyl fear-mongering didn’t land as well so now they’re going with this
Garlic epidemic
I already liked and supported garlic, and then it declared war on the United States. Garlic truly is a wonderful thing.
After one hundred-year vampire
died, other vampires are scared of being killed by pure communist garlic.We are a deeply serious country, I swear 🤬
Sinister Communist plot to season food
So I’ve seen something like this on tiktok, weirdo food people were spreading propaganda that Chinese garlic was poisoned with bleach and that Chinese peeled garlic was peeled by mouth and therefore bacteria infested.
and that Chinese peeled garlic was peeled by mouth
This might literally be the dumbest thing I’ve heard this month.
It’s literally bonkers. They showed “footage” of this peeling process of women sitting on the floor peeling the garlic with their teeth, supposedly as it’s not confirmed that’s what they were doing. It’s not good footage and it’s clearly bullshit. Why the hell would one of the most technologically advanced nations peel garlic this way when we have better methods? I can peel garlic at home by shoving the cloves in a container, shaking it around a bit, and suddenly it’s peeled. Hell, even putting the cloves in hot water helps peel. It’s just turbo racism.
Sure they have some of the most complicated and refined recipes in the world, including spices that would literally put these chuds in the hospital, but the technique to peel garlic has somehow evaded them.
It really frustrates me how people will believe anything about China, as long as it is a hateful and racist enough conspiracy theory.
I got some garlic from China recently, unlike my normal garlic cloves, this one was powdered. Why was it in a powder form China?! What are you hiding? The garlic powder could be tiny nano micro-phones for spying!
