It started out the other way around. Corporations used current events as marketing content, political stances as aesthetic complements to brand identity. Now that the association has set in, they are expected to have stances regardless of whether they would prefer to stay quiet.
There’s a recently closed McDonald near my house that I usually cut through the parking lot to get to the streets behind where I live, there was a dad and little kid passing me in the parking lot and the kid said “Look! They closed the McDonalds!” And the dad said “Wanna know why? Cause the food sucks!”
It was cute
Oh NOW material conditions matter. Only when they impact profit do libs admit that material conditions matter
Maybe it’s that, or maybe it’s because the price of your main menu items nearly doubled in the last two years and you are hitting the declining end of the price-demand curve. Gosh, if only business wasn’t so hard.
It’s both really.
I dont think protests did anything, i think its just deflecting the greedflation no longer being sustainable

Fair my bad
The boycott stuff does work when it hits a critical level. It’s also a great way to do political education.
It also depends on who you’re working with. Small-scale random boycotts in the West tend to fail because they are individualist slacktivisim. A coordinated organized boycott campaign can do much more, especially if you use or build a decent audience.
This is just the Bo Burnham bit but negative lmao
Please buy our treats…
I guess I’m a cynic, but what good does boycotting fast food do for Gaza?
The West is gonna sell bombs and jets to
anywaysDon’t support businesses that set up shop in Isntrael and support the colonial zionist project?
Well, someone more educated than me Can probably chime in on what it does for Gaza, but I know from my own selfish perspective that watching CEO’s whine about decreased profits is really funny
idk what it is doing for Gaza but it is doing wonders for my waist line
