Don't buy veggies from Nazis.

White supremacy has infiltrated farmers markets, and activists are fighting back. Who'da thunk?

1. Actually not that surprising

I can easily see those back to the earth types who want to "live off the land" as being in that category. The few I know give off a "better than thou" aura and for some reason I don't want to get to know them better as I suspect some trumpft leanings.

In the venn diagram, they meet up with the anti-vaxers.

2. I may have had an experience I happen to be on the northside in Chicago

Could be just general racism but I happen to be on the northside in Chicago last summer
I saw they were having a farmers market and I stop by just to buy a piece of fruit
Man was that lady nasty gave me dirty look when she handed me the bag
and tried to shortchange me !
When I pointed it out , she threw the five $ down with a grumpy grunt
No I’m sorry or anything then I remembered a lot of them out on the farms are trumped up . I don’t normally visit any or know anything about the market as I do not live in the area

4. I would say a good 60% of our farmers' market vendors are Asian.

6. Reminds me of the situation that existed in Portland Oregon.

The woman who was one of the top marijuana potency and purity testers in the country was a flat out Nazi, as was her husband. They came off as a typical young, progressive Portlant White couple. Once she was outed, she sold the lab for what she could get for it and said that she was then able to go live what she believed in.

Farmer's markets and legal Weed are ideal hiding places for those people because the clientele and/or vendors are very White, almost 100%. They are in a element that they think they can make hay in.
