I thought burger king staying was the punishment
Every hexbear comment reads like AI trained only on the Tumblr accounts of 14 year old boys with Stalin body pillows.
Absolutely brilliant description.
Say anything remotely negative about Dictatorship 1 and Dictatorship 2, and they come scrambling out of the woodwork with a long rant full of lies, stupidity, and revisionism and a couple of those cringe ass, unnecessarily large emojis to go with it. Honestly sick of them. Individual instance filtering can’t come fast enough.
Yuuuuup.
Have some lemme.ee gold friend
Fucking savage 😂
I just clicked the rainbow pentagram to see that version of this comment thread. Wow. So glad we defederated from those assholes.
What’s the deal with the rainbow pentagram next to the username?
Clicking it seemed to just take me to another lemmy instance?
It takes you to the version of the comment on the commenter’s instance.
Thanks!

That’s one way to defeat Russia. Have them eat garbage food.
Slow news day I assume?
No news means good news. Maybe that’s just me being pessimistic tho.
Capitalists gonna capitalise!
AFAIK, the situation with Burger King, is that unlike McDonalds, BK doesn’t have much leverage over Russian franchisee’s. They can try and say “close the stores, we’re leaving”, but the actual store owners would just say “no” and re-brand them back to “Rostik’s”. They don’t really have any assets in Russia so there’s nothing really to sell either, but they do still receive the franchise fees. So pulling out would only benefit Russia
Rostik’s is actually what KFC was, and the funny thing about it is KFC has the similar franchise structure in Russia, they officially left, told all franchisees to change names back to Rostik’s, but the biggest one just said “no” even to that, as KFC’s contract that includes the rights to use the name expires only in 2035.
They’re making too much money. Corporations are not beholden to nations, silly Americans.
They should feed the homeless free borgors in USA and Europe instead, and just leave the great Mother Russia. Burger King is fucking mediocre in India.
They’re very mediocre in Canada. But that said, they’re cheap as hell compared to their counterparts. And I’d argue, in many urban centers they definitely are feeding the homeless, just charging for it lol.
You can get two cheeseburgers, fries and a drink for $6. You can get a pack of nuggies for $3. You aren’t getting that sort of bang for buck at any other commercial fast food place around here. Something like that would easily cost close to $10 if not more at mcdonalds.
I always tell my wife if I was homeless, she’d find me begging for change at the intersection closest to a burger king.
Well, I would prefer cooking raw materials myself if I were that poor. For $6 I could cook myself a day’s worth of food in India, but that probably cannot be said about Canada.
Yeah it’s been a bit tight. Like surely, for $6 you could definitely get more food at the grocery store, but being that poor often involves not having the proper equipment or space to really cook anything. But yeah, our grocery store situation isn’t pretty right now. Fresh and healthy foods are expensive.
On all the shorts etc showing sanction life in Russia, not one has mentioned burger King is still there.
Burger King will never see a single cent from me, fucking traitors
Extend that to all companies and capitalism is over party.
Good.
You people throw around ‘traitor’ so much its nearly lost all meaning.
pizza hut will never see a cent from me either, fucking traitors.
I simply don’t get this mentality. I’m sure you do realize, that companies such as Microsoft still operate in Russia. You think all people over there are running Linux? Aside from how unbelievably stupid your take is, guess they are traitors too. But you’ll still keep using their OS and Office suite for millenia to come.
Every time someone complains about hexbear they make their emojis 1 pixel bigger
BK in Russia? Smh I thought biological warfare was illegal.
Was going to say that.
My condolences to the Russians.
Спасибо за поддержку. Мы стараемся держаться и попытаемся пережить это неописуемое горе.
Their burgers are trash compared to what they used to be - so fine - feed the Russians trash. About not keeping their word to leave Russia… does anyone here believe anything corporate has to say?
