Leftists are actually critical of rainbow capitalism. Look at how enthusiastic these “redpilled” types are in being good little sheep just consuming product.

Said it before, but CHUDs are everything they hate about “SJWs”. No one is persecuting them, quite the opposite in fact, and no one hates them out of jealousy or the fact they’re misunderstood geniuses or we just don’t get them. Again, quite the contrary. They’re just complete and utter unlikeable freaks. Do other conservatives even like them?

I've been playing a lot of Elden Ring recently. 'Finger but hole' is infinitely funnier than anything a brand Twitter has ever posted.

Mist, or Beast

Is a top notch construction. As is

Fort, Night.

Free tater if you come dressed as a Nazi propaganda poster about the importance of making enough German kids to replace the Ostfront casualties

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wow, one free baked potato!

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are you triggered by my masculinity potato? smuglord

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

4chan unironically re-boomerized gen Z.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

This is so far beyond boomer that it's firmly Greatest Generation shit. They're describing something my relative born in the 1920s would clap like a seal for, but he also fought the Nazis so he wouldn't want to go to the Aryan Barrel for Lebensborn Night.

-families with 3 or more kids with both parents get 20% discount

let’s be real through, if they did this they would also push the waitstaff to conveniently “forget” to add the discount if the family wasn’t all white

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

the kids might be discount actors

Modernists

Damn, normally they complain about postmodernists. Now even modernism is too much for them. Give them a decade or two and they'll be railing against Aristotelianism.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

At least someone recognises that modernism is the real intellectual footing for the left. Whenever a reactionary calls me a postmodernist, it's on par with being called a liberal. As a modernist though I couldn't care less about Cracker Barrel and think this is an extremely postmodern culture war somewhere between the third and fourth stage of simulacra.

Winning strategy for your failing business: cut prices significantly for large groups and triple the cost of operation

[–] LangleyDominos@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

If I was made Cracker Barrel CEO I would simply turn the restaurant into Columbia from Bioshock Infinite.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

I love posts like this because the rebrand was probably made by some conservative chucklefuck, who was like "if we get rid of the dude and the barrel, it will reduce printing costs".

[–] Cat_Daddy@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago (3 children)

But real talk, though, a new logo and ditching the lanterns isn't what's going to bring your clientele back. People quit coming to your restaurant because the service went downhill, and that's at every one of them. So it's not a management issue. It's a corporate issue. Fire the CEO and the rest of the C-suite. Put the brand back like it was. Work on your corporate culture.

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

nothing will save them because their whole business model is denny’s for people who think denny’s is too “urban”, something even conservative zoomers don’t give a shit about any more

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

if they were gonna rebrand they needed to actually rebrand.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

At this point only a time machine or Juche powers will bring their clientele back

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Put the cinnamon back on the fried apples and pay your servers a living wage! That chain needs a union bad

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

oh man that thread is just painful

social media person will get to keep their job a little while longer though:

steak and shake deciding to do the MAGA grift is hilarious and the chuds are eating it up cause they’ll fall for anything

[–] plastic@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This shitty food-chain company really understands me. It's not a ploy to try and get more money!

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Inb4 Steak & Shake becomes the second-most overrated slopshop right after Chick-Fil-A. Does anyone even lile Chick-Fil-A, or do they just all claim to because its right wing, and everyone needs to bow down and glaze the right every 10 seconds?

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

it's not just some unpaid intern using AI to shit out tweets. it's a based corporation and they're my friend online

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

Wait, chuds are actually taking issue with this?

I thought it was a joke.

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The franchise wars have begun

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're being drafted into the Walt Disney militia, put on the mouse ears.

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

the only mouse ears I wear are my own 😤

Mine were a gift from Jesus pete

treatler really encapsulates that treat laden ass empire so perfectly.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Also, Steak N' Shake is bad and it's funny how they think they're going to make a big comeback considering they've been on the downturn for the past twenty years

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

You could sell frozen McDonald’s leftovers from 2 weeks ago to chuds as long as you called them Hitlerburgers and priced them at $14.88

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

I’ve never seen a more obviously manufactured round of Discourse^TM^

This is going to be the new Starbucks red coffee cup.
