As a Canadian in Japan, McDonald's is one brand I had a difficult time saying goodbye to after your Shit president threatened our sovereignty, because I genuinely used to have a good experience everytime I went. Clean store, polite staff, decently cheap food, and cool collabs with Japanese IP like Pokemon and Mario.

I'm sad my kids don't get to enjoy a treat there every now and then, but fuck the USA right now and anybody who supports the shitty administration.

As an American, yeah I agree with you, fuck the USA

Yeah if you're cool with torturing and murdering animals, supporting genocide, destroying the planet... McD's is pretty sweet! Especially for the kids!

Our very existence tortures the planet. Every bit of convenience and joy we feel is based on someone else's hardship and sadness to some degree. So do you just live every day of your life feeling guilty?

What device did you use to make your stupid comment? I hope it was posted using a device powered by renewables; used no rare earths; built by fairly paid, of-age, and vegan workers. Oh no? If you're cool with that, your comment is pretty sweet!

Do you ever worry that by calling everything genocide you're going to undermine the seriousness of the term?
