Seth CotlarThis North Augusta, SC coffee company that markets "non-woke" coffee kind of tipped their hand a bit with the Nazi symbolism on their logo.
Believe it or not, there are actually two Nazi coffee roasters (that I know of) in the US these days. This one in Indiana is far less subtle about their Nazi proclivities. https://www.wvpe.org/indiana-news/2022-06-14/schooner-creek-farm-owner-to-launch-coffee-company-for-our-people-by-our-people
I’m so old, I remember when American companies that put Nazi symbols on their products would have had a hard time attracting enough customers to stay in business.
On Twitter a bunch of people expressed surprise to see the Nazi symbology accompanied by a Bible verse. It is certainly the case that most Americans who identify with the Christian tradition are not Nazis or Nazi-sympathizers. But there is also a robust tradition of right wing antisemitic, Nazi-adjacent "Christian Patriotism" that this company gestured toward. I plan to do a Substack post on that tradition sometime soon, because Foursquare minister Walter Huss was 100% in that camp.
Mx. Luna Corbden 🐸@sethcotlar Christo-fascism/Christian Nationalism has a chokehold on white American evangelicals, and they’ve got a well-coordinated plan decades in-progress. There are a lot of people writing and being activists against them, including Chrissy Stroop. We need as many people as possible sounding the alarm and working against them.
ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘@sethcotlar wtf is non-woke coffee?
Coffee is made from coffee beans isn't it? How do you add the "wokeness"?
Michael ☕️@anne_twain @sethcotlar
I'd guess anti-woke coffee is grown in plantations where they use every pesticide available, then the beans are picked by pre-teen slave laborers. Packed in 14 layers of plastic made from pure virgin American oil--none of that recycled plastic crap. Delivered to the U.S.A. on jumbo jets fueled by the dirtiest oil-sands kerosene available.

FS9-BS "Bad Survivor"@anne_twain @sethcotlar A lot of 3rd/4th wave coffees have direct connections with farms and importers and stuff. Cxffeeblack for example has an all-Black supply chain (and makes excellent coffee), and many 3rd/4th wave roasters refuse to work with farms or importers that employ slave or poorly-paid workers (though what people count as "poorly paid" varies pretty wildly).
So I would suppose a non-woke coffee is like, "yes we'd like to buy from the white-man owned farms that have extra slavery and sexual assault against workers, actually".
Tim Macinta@sethcotlar - Of secondary importance, it sounds like their coffee won't keep you awake. Weak crap.

Nazi symbology is okay with the GOP, too!

AriM 🇺🇲🇮🇱🇺🇦@sethcotlar unfortunately what this tells me is that these guys believe there are enough people out there to support a blatantly Nazi coffee roasting company business model.
@pineywoozle ‘s #3WordNote@AriM @sethcotlar There are a lot of them but I think a lot of what they’re thinking is shaped by the MSM who want the us to think there are more than there are. The same MSM that gins up support for the #farL having them on constantly even though they do no work because they get to use them as a bogeyman with equal force while pretending to be balanced. Normal sane Dems outnumber all the bad actors, but that’s not a story of unity, or Hope the MSM wants to portray.

Nazism appears to be growing very quickly. Mainly it's the 4Chan/alt-right which is openly adopting nazi iconography; it's not a big step for them.
I'm not sure what is driving the trend, though. Russia is of course obsessed and fascinated with nazism, and very influential in alt-right circles, it's possible they're getting inspiration from there.
@sethcotlar You mean like the GOP… shear number of GOP dog whistles to Nazis and white supremacists is staggering. #USPol #GOP #Nazis
BWheatNYC@sethcotlar Luckily, I don’t drink coffee at all, ever.
Buster McNuttI give "Black Rifle" coffee the side-eye because they're ex-military making coffee for people who "love America."
Fuvkin' barf.
Dr. Sean Munger@sethcotlar What is "non-woke" coffee? Are we supposed to insult Black people or deadname trans people while we drink it? Or is it proudly made with indigenous plantation labor? Can you drink it while watching a Disney movie, or will it magically heat up in your mouth and burn you to punish you for supporting them?
Mark Shane Hayden@seanmunger @sethcotlar I have no idea but certainly it must be decaffeinated...can't risk waking up this lot

Okay. New policy. Anyone who wants to be a Nazi, closet or otherwise, get out. You're done. Just revoke their citizenship and deport them.
If you can't get onboard with the American ideal of pluralism, you don't belong here.
And FYI, this is coming from a 50+ straight non-disabled white cismale. Yes, I've benefited from privilege my entire life. No, I can't abide people who hate others for who they are.
I can be tolerant of just about anything, but not intolerance.
Itsdanw@sethcotlar Wait, isn't getting "woke" the whole point of coffee?
will-r-s-hansenWait, is this not decaf?
Dealiah@sethcotlar Must be decaf. 😉
T. Austin Brown@sethcotlar Is it decaf? But in all seriousness, the openness of the nazis these days is disgusting--more disgusting than even this shitty coffee.
Aviel Roshwald@sethcotlar They could have just called it decaffeinated.
@sethcotlar Can't say I'm surprised, but I am disappointed.
