  It’s chicken. It isn’t political and it’s not worth waiting for

    Condemning organizations which support hate speech and eroding of civil rights is too 'political', we better just not talk about it.

        The owner, Dan Cathy, is still actively involved with groups such as the National Christian Foundation, an organization spearheading the derailment of the Equality Act

    It’s chicken. It isn’t political

    THE COMPANY MADE IT POLITICAL. Is it easier to understand who brought politics into the dinner conversation if it’s in larger letters?

      Say it as many times as you want. It’s chicken.

      You do realize gay people work and own cfa? I’m sure you also know the company hasn’t donated in years to anything controversial.

      So no, to me it’s not political. It’s chicken.

        It's a private company. The actions of the owner of that company reflect on the company itself, and the profits of the company support the goals of the owner.

    While the product, being inanimate isn't involved in the decision. You are just making excuses.

      It’s sound you are making excuses that damage the community. It’s funny you want to seem holier than though when I don’t even eat there. I just don’t do it for political reasons. If I thought the food was good I would eat there because of the way they treat their employees.

        It sounds like you are making excuses for "right to work" corpos owning their workers. Wage slaves are wage slaves and the further we remove the predatory practices the better. It is funny you want to seem holier than ### thou when you are really nothing but another clueless libertarian.

        You’re kind of an idiot, aren’t you?

    I just looked at your profile, and man I have not seen anyone have such a strong downvote count. I mean, I don’t look at profiles a lot, but still. You’re a politically-edgy little bastard, aren’t you?

      Ah, your slacktivism is doing well.

      Edgy? Not at all. I leave that to you.

    Why are you arguing when you know you don’t know what they’re talking about, and a quick Google search can verify what they’re saying? Or are you just playing stupid?

      Maybe you are simple but I clearly described that to me it’s chicken. I get with your slacktivism you think you are saving the world but you just look silly to me. While you not buying chicken shows you are stopping whatever imaginary threat you think is real, I don’t buy the chicken because I don’t like it. I can’t prove a negative. When you google, it comes back with nothing recent since CFA stopped donating to certain groups many years ago.

        Well, I can see that someone who moves the goalposts this often isn’t worth arguing with. Maybe just state the point you really want to make the first time instead of being sheepish about it?

        Also, “slacktivism”? Man, I can’t take you seriously. How hilarious would it be though— you’re so quick to assume people don’t do anything but argue on the internet, someone’s gonna show you up someday. You honestly sound a whole lot like you’re projecting about “slacktivism”. But oh well, onto reading the next Lemmy post.
