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.

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

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

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