Given all the self avowed liberal progressives here who claim they stand for something, this chick fil a thing is funny.
I would recommend if you have to eat fast food chicken get out some more as it is nowhere close to the best.
Guess can’t really expect people to sacrifice average chicken for their principles.
I shed a tear for politics today that so many would sell out their principles for heat lamp chicken. It’s not a matter of dodging every companies behind the scenes politics. Chick fil a is aggressively in your face about it. Even Canadians knew this.
Bottom line is Chik Fil A makes their religion and hate part of their corporate identity. So it is significantly different than some other business where the owner prays privately on Sunday.
This is true, and as I mentioned I fall on the side of not giving my money to them because they have made it super clear some of my money will go toward oppression.
Now tho, this is something I am really wrestling with lately--by not eating CFA I get a minor sense of accomplishment from--to your point--a minor inconvenience to me and a relatively insignificant impact to them. Meanwhile, I take part in the system, work for and buy goods from companies that are entrenched in exploitation here and abroad, and chase financial endeavors to earn and then send a very significant amount of money off to the government to be used for war machines, child prisons, adult prisons, ICE etc, etc.
I don't drive a modified truck so I can roll coal, I recycle and drive a Prius. BUT, I have been on 5 flights in the last two weeks. I believe in climate change, and I know that recycling and Prius driving is not enough of a change to make a difference. So who is worse? Me or the guy who is too dumb to know better?
I wonder if the lulling personal but near zero actual impact of not buying a chicken sandwich from the bigots is actually too easy of a line to draw and should not get any applause at all? We the baddies regardless.
