Oh shit she moved from Missouri to Texas? :story:
 
Because it looks like shit. Have you ever visited a Cracker Barrel? The place has a motif and if the logo was sterilized it means everything else will be as well.

Who. Fucking. Cares.

It's a chain restaurant that serves overpriced, unhealthy food ran by a corporate entity. Pretending its logo is some canary in a coal mine of woke ideology and white replacement is autistic. It seems like a manufactured distraction to me and there's no shortage of people willing to be mad at the internet over retarded shit like if a logo has a specific shape or not.

If cracker barrel ceased to exist today, your life would be no different. They are not "Americana". They are a contrived aesthetic to tap into the general idea of Americana that only exists in distilled nostalgia for marketing and sales purposes.
 
I cannot imagine the path in life that leads someone to be emotionally invested for any reason in the logo of a shitty, chain restaurant. I legitimately don't understand why anyone gives a shit about this and anyone who crashes out in society because of [BRAND] is immediately written off as a brain rotted individual who needs to go outside.
"Oh cool, I ate here when I was little. I want to take my kids there now.

...What the fuck, this is completely different than I remember. It makes me sad that every cornerstone of my childhood innocence has been defaced. Mad even."

It's as simple as that. Nostalgia for childhood. The Nation is realizing that our parents built a society out of chewing gum and rubber bands instead of doing the work to lay a solid foundation for us to build off of and it's infuriating.

I care the same way I cared when maccas went from a unique place to a horribly depressing one.

Why tolerate any of this? If you're a consumer then use that to kick back against ridiculous changes no one approves of, rather than just ignoring it and letting it all happen.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=ug_8en7M5zcWhy is Trump still admit about allowing 600k Chinese students into the country? No way jose.
Because American universities are a racket that the government and banks participate in. If Americans are getting wise to it and pursuing other means of getting a job then that financial slack has to pick up somewhere else. The Chinese can probably be grifted for another decade. This is assuming they don't already understand university is an overpriced scam and buy it anyway, the chink equivalent of an indian buying a BMW.
 
"we have ideals, we have fallen short of those ideals and look at our failures unflinchingly as we constantly endeavor to improve" is simple enough for anyone worth educating.

what you describe was entirely by design and it's bad, it's just there are other bad things too, which anybody knows who has any Turkish, Chinese, or Japanese friends.
you are correct in principle
however in practice it is much better and less damaging to err on the side of MY TRIBE PERFECT OTHER TRIBES BAD (as seen in turkey china etc) rather than on the side of MY TRIBE BAD WE SHOULD DIE (as seen in the west)
 
Every time I come to this thread I am more and more convinced that it always was just a bunch of 50yo boomers who use it as virtual hangout/complaining spot behind their wives' backs, discussing news being only a cover-up.

"God dang those stupid woke brats and their anti-deportation protests, bet they didn't protest when our savior Trump stoped them Tick-tocks form getting banned. They're all spoiled, back in my day I had to work 22h a day for a Walkman! Rememba Walkman? My wife still touched me back then, good times."
Every time one of you shitlib tourists bumbles through babbling your TDS bullshit as if your MSNBC-addled bitchbrain is even capable of producing a thought of interest to intelligent human beings it reminds me of exactly why I love the regulars of this thread, who will simply find 8 different ways to tell you to kill yourself.

I do, fuck off.

I don't want more brutalist architecture. I don't want more corporate goyslop. I don't want sterile.

I want eggs with pancakes at 5PM in a store that is modeled after 1800s era general stores filled with neat looking niknaks that make good presents for my wife.

I want to ponder buying a couple of old fashioned rocking chairs because I'm getting to the age where I appreciate that kind of thing.

I want a cozy fire keeping the place warm instead of industrial heaters during the winter.

I want to peruse the candy sticks as a treat for my son because he's been a good boy lately.

Then don't go there? You're complaining about the very mechanics this country, and the conservative values everyone here wants, upholds. The freedom of private equity firms and capitalism to advance their shareholder agenda as they see fit to maximize profit without interference from assholes who want to tell them what they can and can't do.

Yeah. It sucks. But America can't have it both ways. You can't demand businesses have the freedom to practice as the owners want, free of being told what to do and the legislation that hampers them. Yet get pissy when those businesses maximize profits by cutting out overhead and excess costs of "Aesthetics". You can't be mad at progressives for wanting to chain up billionaires and then be mad when billionaires do the thing they do to YOUR establishments.

Homogenization IS the final form of efficiency and it sucks ass. But the alternative is just as bad as woke ideology dictating what businesses have to do in order to appease the blue hair trannys. This is the double edge sword everyone wanted cutting against the grain that people were sure wouldn't come for them.
 
Are there half-naked homos gyrating in cages inside the new Cracker Barrel joints or something?

That's true, this was one of the things the Founding Fathers discussed when drafting the Charters of Freedom. One nation under shareholders with quarterly reports and upward-trending cumulative median revenue ROI for all (of the investors.) In an ideal United States companies would just grow and make profit without the plebs interfering.
 
Then don't go there?
I'M NOT YOU RETARD. That doesn't bring back what I liked in childhood and it doesn't fix the problem that our nation is incapable of building lasting institutions.

But America can't have it both ways.
FUCK YOU. The person who did this was a retarded Lesbian who wasn't hired on merit.

Homogenization IS the final form of efficiency and it sucks ass.
Than I don't want efficiency and I'll go through life intentionally undermining it out of spite because I can't have my 1800s General Store to eat Biscuits and Gravy in.

Oh stop. This shit got waived around for two weeks with Bud Light too and nothing happened. This is meaningless and a blip in their chart that'll be erased with time. Just like AB. "Buy" That chart reads to me like they needed to do this streamlining to do exactly what needed to be done.
