soooo organic is what happened when Europe had to start using artificial fertilizers bc they'd spent 100+ yrs throwing sewage into the ocean & the land was all out of nutrients

German spiritualists were like "chemical fertilizers on MY food!? oh hell no that's way too Jewish" https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1084178809073557504

I mean organic was literally invented in 1920s or so by German dude named Rudolf Steiner w some whack-ass theories on race

funny how nobody ever does the math on that

but yeah if you ever wondered why fascists prance around yelling BLOOD AND SOIL there's the feckin answer

Rudolf Steiner's work was like 60-70% racist theory, and organic was just the "so this is what my racist theory means for farming" side of his work.

German racism was soon judged to be "embarrassing" so later editions of his work just deleted those chapters.

Eventually 1960s US counterculture kidz picked up editions of Steiner's books w the most egregious race theory material deleted

They picked up on the "yay nature & back to the land, down with ARTIFICIAL" vibe & had no idea that it was all an antisemitic tirade

goddamn hippies

Anyway, that's how a bunch of racist mumbo-jumbo made up by the kind of back-alley philosophers who usually just stick to seances

got transformed into the Pinnacle Of Sustainable Living

the best part is organic's main function is still allaying upper-class white people's anxieties about class, privilege, & saving white farms from existential threats of the Other

meaning it has both completely changed and not changed one damn bit
