lately I've been interested in the conservative obsession with hating starbucks and found this
I wish my life was so good that I could spare the energy to pick the dumbest, pettiest bullshit like this to be upset about.
I'm fairly certain the lifes of people losing their shit about this are super fucking miserable and they mostly go 
over a print on a seasonal paper cup so they do not have to confront their actual problems.
Here’s footage of the research by the way https://youtu.be/Vlk45K0wgfU
There was also a research article that found white people generally distrust all minorities while trusting Asian men the most, but only if the Asian men are fat.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
That's interesting. What's that from? I feel like I'd heard that it didn't take much to develop empathy and overcome racist attitudes just by basically exposing people to the groups they fear more often in everyday life l, though I have no source on that. I wonder if physiological responses like those can be changed in the right conditions or if it'll always be that way.
Some people I know have by now spent about 30 years living in the same neighbourhoods as Muslim, African etc immigrants, they see them everywhere all the time and they're certainly not getting any less racist
Maybe it makes sense in America where a lot of white people live on like a corn field in the middle of nowhere or something, but Europeans are massively racist and keep voting for more and more fascist politicians and they live side by side with immigrants in major cities
CHUDDery is the final stage of first world problems.
Crying, pissing and shitting because the two hands holding on the holiday cup are the same size.
So THAT'S the logical leap!
Pfft! It's no leap buddy! Everybody knows that women have tiny, fragile, mouse like hands and men have giant hairy gorilla mitts the size of a dinner plate! Anything less is pandering to the SJWs!
I once worked with a chud, who absolutely loved to hate Starbucks. Then one day, he needed coffee, he just had to have some, and Starbucks was the only place there. Then, literally after that day, he drank Starbucks nearly every day and wouldn't stop talking about how much he loves Starbucks. It was bizarre.
I mean, I think we can all guess what the guy from this story's political views are
literally me
I cannot imagine anyone organically caring about this
Nails kept short and well manicured... When you know, you know.
I'm a lesbian - catch these hands.
Hands are lesbian I don't make the rules
Fellas, holding hands is gay, but not in the way you think
Assuming this is recent it's just a marketing thing to get people to forget about bds. Outrage marketing has been the norm for a long time now
Do companies actually make money from deliberate conservative outrage? They must since they keep doing it. The Bud light thing must be some outlier
Yeah, construct a narrative of Starbucks standing its ground in support of queer people, hoping that narrative supplants the growing public conception of a union-busting Israel-supporting corporation. By and large no news sites write articles to be informative, there's no such thing as investigative journalism anymore, if they're publishing something it's because someone paid them to or they have a material incentive themselves.
It's all conjecture based on what I know about past mass marketing campaigns and a general vibe I get when I feel something's trying to manipulate me. But as awareness marketing became saturated, as insecurity marketing became saturated, corporations started leaning more heavily into identity formation. Which itself is becoming saturated, and I think socially we're experiencing the effects of that aspect of humanity getting enclosed and co-opted. The anti-woke shit seems at least partially like a runaway effect of it.
Tbh the Bo Burnham social brand consultant sketch captures the vibe pretty well.
starbucks as a brand is so incredibly loaded with cultural-political symbolism in US culture, completely disproportionate to what they actually do and sell as a business (coffee with lots of syrup in).
And they say Americans don’t have culture
(coffee with lots of syrup in).
Not just coffee with lots of syrup, horribly burnt coffee that is less pleasant than just eating whole coffee beans, presumably to encourage people to pay extra for the syrup to hide the taste of them actively making the coffee wrong on purpose.
If starbucks weren't on the BDS list I'd suggest trying some Starbucks reserve roasts someday. They're still horribly dark, but at least they have some character.
But instead of that, literally any specialty coffee roaster will outdo them by simply not roasting past second or third crack...
The thing is I'm not even picky about coffee. Like I've had gas station boxed coffee that wasn't good, but it wasn't Starbucks bad. In college I'd often buy a cup of coffee from an instant vending machine in the student lounge, and that wasn't good but it wasn't Starbucks bad. Now I buy the cheapest whole beans I can find on sale in bulk because I can't afford better and grind it myself, and it's not great but it's decent enough. It's been 20 years since I've actually spent money in a Starbucks, and the only time I've been since was when I had a Starbucks gift card that someone else won, and their coffee tastes like burnt cardboard or burnt popcorn in a way that's both horribly bland and actively unpleasant.
When I lived near one, I would get coffee at Winco foods. Very good prices in bulk. They tend to have locations in California, Nevada, Idaho, Texas and a few other places.
It's also a worker owned co-op 👍👍👍
like i have to imagine it's a marketing win for them that a significant portion of the population is under the impression that sbux is a fancy coffee shop for haughty, vaguely effeminate and foreign elites and not just, people who want to get breakfast at a drive thru on their way to their office job.
Stupid CHUDs, we're not woke! My girlfriend's husband is white.
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
Math's getting a bit complicated, please send help.
The Lesbian Hands Resist Them
This would be a legit punk band name.
Game of Thrones gave us The Hand of the King
Starbucks gave us the Hand of the Lesbian
Thirst world problems.
You know, they call them fingers, but I ain't ever seen 'em fing...
Oh, there they go.
We're moving towards a reality where you are mandated to make a maximum performance of your AGAB, nonstop. Possibly one of my worst nightmares at any age.
I thought you were supposed to check a woman's fingernails to see if she's a lesbian
An Imgur link was detected in your post. Here are links to the same location on alternative frontends that protect your privacy.
I do hope so damn much that conservatives, etc will overanalyze everything. I hope they'll never find another moment of peace ever again. Just constant high blood pressure and paranoia from looking at literally anything and seething.
yeah who would ever live such a life
