Have Burger King and other companies turned Communist?

Never confuse fascism with communism . One is an invisible reality, the other a delusion. When the deep state makes calls to private entities demanding actions and behaviors, but otherwise leaves them to their profits, it's fascism. This is all the stuff going on behind the scenes.

Communism is the pipe dream that fascists sell to the rubes to surrender their freedoms so that the fascists can acquire and consolidate power.

BK is closing hundreds of stores and two of their major operators have filed for bankruptcy. The article you posted refers to growth in same store sales.

Nearly every BK store I pass looks closed or empty. Hard to believe many of the stores generate enough revenue to even cover costs.

One of BK’s problems....they had a number of franchise units in Germany hooked to discount coupons, and they would pump these out every month. So you would show a good track record of burgers sold, but you weren’t making any ‘real’ profit off the discounted menu items. That peeved off the franchise owners a good bit.

When this first hit - it was just news media making the accusations. The police weren’t even investigating anything, no claims by ‘victims’. Then they’re running with crap from ex-girlfriends, like Katy Perry, whom he dumped, saying he’s ‘bad’ (or whatever) - no claim of a crime, or rape.

They all piled on simultaneously...clearly there’s an organization that pulls the media strings. I remember reading, years ago, about an org called “Progressive Media USA”, with members like John Podesta (Hillary’s campaign coordinator), and other lefties, where the orgs mission was to make sure “there is a consistent message distributed across all news media”.

He was a self proclaimed sex addict. A typical (modern) liberal and everyone loved his antics, even when it involved ‘personal space’. He red pilled during COVID, now he’s questioning everything.

All those years where somebody could have said something, but crickets - until now....with 6+M subscribers on YT listening to him.

Systemic hit job.

That would make one helluva good tagline!

“Burger King is on life support anyway for making stupid moves like this.”

This is why we need citizen leaders. We should be protesting BK in their most busy spots. Preferably in a conservative district where the FBI and local police won’t arrest us for exercising our free speech.

Then we start doing it to all woke companies. Look what happened to Scud Light? We can do that anywhere we want. Just need citizens to step up and lead us.

This isn’t voluntary by BK - this is outright government interference and illicit abuse of power.

I can’t hit the mute button fast enough when one of their idiotic commercials come on. They’re awful.

They seem to target a different demographic.

When I read this article it leads me to believe that advertisers aren’t just punishing Brand, but also punishing all of Rumble for defying the UK.

In other words, not just BK, but other advertisers on Rumble content.

Burger King went gay crazy awhile,back and we quit eating there as a result. By pulling their advertising, they are just further cutting off their noses to spite their ugly face. People are further gonna say “good riddance to bad slop” now.

There are 7000 BKs in the US , theyve closed like 200. Not too bad considering the actual state of the economy. Last legs for sure.

Its absolutely amazing that the UK British Parliament is leading the charge to control Brand’s speech on Rumble.
