Pictured from distribution Center in Baldwin Park, CA. They’ve been flying this flag for years. This hasn’t gotten much attention but In n out also was anti-vax and anti-lockdown during COVID. The CEO also recently went on a right wing podcast to announce they’re moving the HQ to Tennessee but backed out after getting backlash. They would wave the MAGA flag if they knew they wouldn’t get in trouble for it but are ‘softballing’ with the Don’t Tread On Me flag.
Anyone who still thinks the flag isn’t right wing and is meant to represent anti tyranny clearly hasn’t been paying attention to politics the last few years. This is the same way the Swastika was a symbol for peace , it was co opted by Nazis. I personally will stop eating at In-N-Out. Will save me some calories at least.

Gotta say, the only reason I ever buy CFA is because my son has a gluten and dairy allergy and they are legit one of the only fast food places that have GF Fries and an entree that will suffer a young kid’s palette.
This is why these awful companies maintain customers. You think "yeah they're bad, but my convenience" and give them your money.
Probably a bit of a milquetoast reply, but there is NO FUCKING ETHICAL CONSUMPTION UNDER CAPITALISM.
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Let my son enjoy shit that you take for granted.
I don't think that's what milquetoast means, but maybe I missed the sarcasm (sorry). Saying no ethical consumption exists under capitalism isn't really making any kind of point in response to that -- just trying to understand here, but are you saying that for that reason, all consumption is equally ethical? That might be more interesting to talk about, and less thought-terminating. I hope your kid is doing well; I know how restrictive that diet can be.
Sarcasm intended haha. But also it’s not a new argument and is oft repeated when purity tests come up.
It's more that basically anyone in a capitalist society can point out the evils a company someone else purchases from does, at a point it feels hopeless to even try to have ethical consumption, especially if it means spending much more time/effort to find a probably only slightly better alternative.
