Coffee is a plant demon that created the western civilization as we know it today...

  I like this worldview. Prior to coffee, Europe was in the grip of the beer dwarves. Coffee demons took over and invented nationalism, capitalism and Keynesian economics.

    At least the coffee demons aren't quite as bad as the amphetamine demons that produced Nazi Germany.

      We could view as amphetamine vs. coffee / black tea.

    Obligatory recommendation for: Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How it Transformed our World by Mark Pendergrast Fantastic book. I first encountered it...in a coffee shop :) Read a chapter and immediately bought the book for myself.

    Putting Keynesian economics next to nationalism on the evil list was so funny, I almost spit out my coffee.

      Is it? Keynesian economics created the economic framework to finance World Wars.
