The Banana Junta

I’m looking at this thing and I’m tired. Really tired.

The goggles reflect nothing but the void of corporate branding. It’s a plushie in a Mao suit. Why? Because the internet hates silence. We need to mash-up the adorable with the oppressive just to feel a spark of recognition in our lizard brains. It’s funny until you realize the sheer, terrifying efficiency of the yellow mob. They don’t think. They just serve. And here they are, standing on a red carpet, dressed for a parade in a city that probably has more statues than grocery stores. It's gross. But we keep clicking.

Look at those tiny, three-fingered hands in black gloves. They're ready to clap for a speech they don't understand. Or maybe they do. Maybe they're the ones writing the script now. It's the banality of evil, but with a high-pitched giggle. We’ve turned global icons into foot soldiers for a joke that isn’t landing anymore. But hey, it’s great for the engagement metrics. Pure, unadulterated nonsense wrapped in charcoal polyester. And we love it.
