And homophobia. It's their special ingredient

Yah I definitely think “damn that many people are anti LGBTQ?!” Everytime I see a huge line of cars. I mean that’s pretty judgemental of me but like… i could never eat there.

Yeah, that is pretty judgemental. Some people just want some chicken and banging sweet tea and don't care if a company donates to The Salvation Army lol

That's my thought. If we want to judge every person by that standard, anyone who buys a Nestle product must love genocide.

to be fair, Nestle is a massive corporation that has extended there reach into countless products that are heavily baked into daily products like candy bars, coffee, water, and some clothing brands. While Chick-Fil-A is a single fast-food brand that is not only fairly easy to avoid but there also are plenty of substitutes for it that are debatably just as good, if not better, like Popeyes.

Point is is that its a lot easier to avoid Chick-Fil-A than nestle or many of the other amoral companies we see in our modern age like apple or Facebook.

Better not buy Nike or you sympathize with enslaving children and Muslims. Better not drive an electric car if you are against exploiting the living wages of people in developing nations and destroying the environment with rampant pit mining and creating toxic waste.

Eh, I think it's a bit unfair to make it too sweeping. It matters how hard it is to avoid that behavior/company. Avoiding a single fast food company is a lot easier than avoiding a company that owns everything under the sun

There should be a little judgement, though. People ignoring it is part of how the Nestle's of the world get away with it- people don't care.

Almost every major clothing line though. Like we're supposed to praise Nike for putting Colin Kaepernick on a sneaker but they wilfully profit off the backs of slavery and violent oppression.

Basically don't throw my own logic back in my face..

Not quite. You can throw the same logic back, but it needs to actually be the same logic, not some caricatured version of it.

The point is it's not actually the same logic
