Buddy,

Discendo Vox posted:

KFC is owned by Yum! Brands, which is publicly held/traded and, afaik, fairly typical restaurant conglomerate (one of the smaller ones). They're unlikely to be any kind of right wing fundamentalist, although it is true that for fairly complex reasons restaurant chains have a particularly high likelihood of being owned by groups like that.

It could just be the local franchisee, and it's been like 15 years, but there was some very strange morality stuff on the application my mom filled out, and the help wanted sign had a cross on it for the longest time.

Unless Popeyes(or parent RBI inc) is directly supporting homophobic groups, popeyes. And better chicken to boot.

It's mostly for people whose tastebuds have turned into paste or they're unable to eat or understand vegetables.

It's really more a specific subset of goons that like American fast food despite it being bad for life itself/health/money.

Foodchat is like weatherchat; everyone eats, and has some sort of opinion, from the understandable ("I prefer this chicken to that chicken") to the Techbro ("I made a nutriant-rich slurry so I can spend less time eating and more time programming, and my media illiteracy made me name it after the ground up humans from that one sci fi movie")

Actually they moved on to Chick-Fil-A because a few years ago they hired a diversity VP and the chuds just know realized it. I saw some tweets about targeting Kohl's next, because of rainbows, but I haven't heard much traction about that one.

Any mention of food in any thread whatsoever is generally enough to spark a 2 or 3 page derail about <insert food/restaurant chain> and I've always found it bizarre.

..

EDIT: Beaten

On topic: the 6pm guy on my local WGOP radio station was talking about Trump and didn't understand "why Trump was going after his former press secretary and insulting her". I almost drove off the road laughing. Apprently this host gets all the people Trump has worked with only to poo poo on later.

https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4027450-trump-slams-his-former-press-secretary-kayleigh-mcenany/

BUt that's the thing. I was like, motherfucker Donald Trump does this to EVERYONE and anyone he's ever worked with. They go from the best, most brilliant and brightest people to disloyal losers and errand boys in the blink of a loving eye Tweet. Somehow, though, Kayleigh McEnany being in the cross hairs of the Nickname 3000 Petty Insult Sniper Rifle that Donald has unloaded on countless former coworkers and appointees is a real head scratcher for whoever this host was.

Jesus Christ, talk radio host guy, how the gently caress can you wonder why Trump is abruptly turning on someone for no apparent reason and being petulant and rude? Because he's rude and a loving rear end in a top hat, you dipshit, and he's being the same petulant petty rear end in a top hat he always is.

Mystery solved.

We're in a weird spot right now, because the chuds are on cloud 9 about their "wins" with Bud Light and Target, and they're under the impression that all they need to do is have Charlie Kirk or Matt Walsh say "BOYCOTT!" and then that company will instantly crumble. If you listen to some of the (admittedly dumber) ones talk, they're angling towards "exposing the GLSEN cartel" and getting Pride Month cancelled altogether. So it's gonna be a slap in the face when they wake up tomorrow and see the sheer amount of rainbow capitalism going down, and Target still selling 99% of what they were going to anyway.

Like, it's frustrating seeing the smug satisfaction in the terminally-online right-wing types whenever they get an inch like this, but it really is just an inch that they've convinced themselves is a goddamn marathon.

Hell, someone upthread noted the raise in frequency. What's the over/under that they're running an algorithm on the releases?

Anybody got a line on which right wing media outlet is spouting off about how liberal commie cuck socialist cities refuse to prosecute for shoplifting now and that will be the downfall of western civilization when [CORPORATION X] pulls out of the latest city? My work CHUD barometer has been on a tear about it for two days now to anyone he can force the topic on. I assume some source of what I will sneeringly call "information" is pumping him up on this, it's not the usual off handed racism or fascist masturbatory fantasies that come and go. Been a pretty sustained topic he's been going off on.

Look at all these posters who don't understand that Aladdin is actually set in a post apocalyptic future that just resembles the past as history starts to repeat.
The flying carpet? A technological artifact.
Abu and Iago? Genetically engineered animals that have become common place?

Even the Genie, all his pop culture references are from the distant past. Plus, as he describes, he spent 10,000 years in the lamp before Aladdin released him.

I don't, at least for this particular situation, but I've been privy to this phenomenon back when I worked in a (largely Republican) office. I could always tell whatever it was FOX and talk radio were on about and the talking points they'd received just from taking breaks and sitting in the lunch room. ACORN stands out in my mind as a huge example. I remember some birth certificate talk as well.
