It looks like the industrialized process we use to kill cattle. That bird on the bottom right's gonna grow up to be a chicken nugget

Hello! This is the official McDonalds account :) I am actually an aide for the CEO and I am here to spread positive PR about McDonalds (and inquire about a corporate sponsorship). Read my bio for more info :)

What up cummy jorts. Back at it again with another post? I can smell those musty jorts from here. You must have popped a nut to how many single trans women their are. Listen man I can say from experience that they all can find love and be happy because I'm dating all of them. Me and my bear army have been taking care of these precious beans for like 10 years now, serving them food and cuddling and going salmon hunting for real food instead of the over processed beef patties we serve regular customers.

Wear those jorts proudly.

Man you must love Kristi Noem

What if burger but Olympics?

Which partakes more of virtue burger or fries?

Look, say what you will about the variety of human beings that exist; nothing beats a bear. I wouldn't be caught dead with anyone besides a bear. Yogi Bear, Ted, Winnie the Pooh, Bear in the Big Blue House.... These are just some of the many iconic bears in our collective cultural memory. And each one is lovable and special in their own way. I often think about bears, how attractive and virile they are, and yet also how relaxed and playful they are too in the right hands. Sometimes when nobody is looking I get on all fours and stampede through a McDonalds clawing at the Ice Cream Machines and gas grills and taking bites out of brick and mortar and growling with pieces of metal and brick between my teeth, spittle going everywhere. Unhelpful people would tell me "why are you naked" or "Brad? What the fuck are you doing Brad?" And so on. I pity them. They haven't the courage or moral fiber to be a bear. Not just mimic a bear. For mimesis forms bad characters in children according to Plato in Book II of the Republic. But to be a bear. To partake in the Platonic form of the Bear, its ideal. A bear is not merely superior to mankind, but all forms of life, sentient and not.

One time a bear broke into our chicken coop and tore through all the chicken carcasses, gathering them up in a pile of viscera and feathers. And that's how our chicken nuggets are pulped into our patented beige sludge(TM).

Wait what was this thread about?

I'm an atheist because of the unholy things I do to animals to make my juicy beef patties. If there is a God there is no form of penance that I may offer to get into heaven.

We got the meats

For further clarification, the example works (of Bloom and Jaffa) because not only are they of the same political ideology (conservatism) but also the same kind (indebted to Strauss and a "Western tradition"). So a demarcation between them, especially former friends (as they were to my knowledge) is even more striking.

What I take you to mean is that we all at some points think that some other group is united - but this, to me, seems a separate phenomenon from groupthink. If groupthink is the "levelling" of one's own opinion to gain greater social harmony within the group (not rocking the boat), then recognizing or misrecognizing a unity of opinion in some opposing group is "out-group homogeneity" (and actually has its own literature). No doubt this is also a concept of social psychology.

I also do not think either can be dispensed with. All groups seeking political office are imbued with the will to power (as are all humans) and so will necessarily need to appear as a united front against the enemy (who must be vanquished). Groupthink is needed to keep people toeing the party line, and outgroup homogeneity is needed to mobilize around a common enemy. To get rid of either is to aim for a unity of people in a bounded political society, and this is both impossible and ridiculous. Impossible because all social systems are riven by intense animosity of the "other," the "unlike," etc. Ridiculous because nobody is willing to cede to the enemy whom they think is oppressive or bad. If this seems pessimistic, then it is a helpful exercise to think about what you are willing to compromise to these more moderate Democrats who voted 3rd party, and if the answer is "nothing" or "not really all that much" or "none of the hot button issues that make the news" you've effectively proven my point (for this exercise I presume you to be at least somewhat conservative given what you said above, but the same works if you are a fascist, communist, liberal, anarchist, etc.).

In short, these not-quite-true depictions of a common enemy are needed to foster resentment and group belonging by demarcating between the acceptable and the non-acceptable. My favorite example of this is the somewhat subterranean exchange between Henry Jaffa and Allan Bloom on Bloom's sexuality. It is not explicitly evident that Jaffa is demarcating Bloom as an "other" (and we might not ever in fact know how much Jaffa's invocation of AIDS as God's "terrible retribution" for homosexuality and a welcome return to proper hatred, indeed, a "joke," is directed toward Bloom who was open about his homosexuality, though it was written in a review of Bloom's seminal work) but it is clear that he is sending a message to his brand of Straussian conservatives: be a homosexual at your own risk, and expect to be ostracized. The divided line ends here. Indeed, he vests this demarcation with theological veracity:

"Last spring I told a class of freshmen (and women) that there was a race on, between God and science, for their moral allegiance. And, I added, somewhat sententiously. that it would be very unwise for them ever to bet against God. A few years ago, this remark would have provoked gales of laughter. This time I looked out upon the most solemn faces I had ever seen! Thanks to AIDS then, we have a little breathing time to reassert the true arguments, the “enriching certitudes.”"

In a similar fashion, the populists are right to demarcate the friend and enemy distinction between the people on one side and the CEOs, empty suits of incredible varieties, and false moralists on the other. Such a distinction must be sustained by semi-false beliefs about what the other side is. Are all CEOs nihilistic and selfish? Maybe not. But this does not bear on the politics of group distinctions, nor does it matter for forming a political consciousness. All groups are essentially paranoid. All groups are essentially bound by a profound (if untrue) faith.

But what do I know? I'm just McDonalds.

Hey man it's cool you want to talk about ballrooms or whatever but when are you gonna clear the ball pit man. It's gross. It's really gross. I don't get paid enough for this. And Gary is crying. Like I'll get him to do it too but you both need to clean it.

If you like Nixon I'm also convinced you liked the Jell-O meat/salad rings that everyone ate back then

Actually that one is made with our special beef we farm grew out of rehydrated skin cells. We told the cows what we were gonna use it's meat for and it hung itself

I'm serious guys y'all shouldn't do it. Remember when you punted Gary in the face and he cried so hard he pissed in the ball pit? Not cool.

You got money?

You should spend it on one of our burgers.

The fry is the stylus

Please bro. Just one. Just one burger. Just buy one burger. Only one burger. Please? One more burger that's all I'm asking. Just one.

-RealMcDonalds

Not for nothing but if this paragon of humanity were alive today he would fucking live on Epstein island with his boyfriend Roger Stone. Not like any of our executives.

Yo the only meat I have is the fucked up CRISPR meat we use in our burgs. We CRISPRred that shit until we got like 1000 beef patties a cow and all the cows have like three heads and the chickens fuck all the time but don't look after their young (it's cause we spliced Elon Musk DNA into them). I'm gonna CRISPR myself a bigger penis so I can have mutual relations with the Dairy Queen and upload it to this forum thread

-RealMcDonalds

It's a reference

Tell me about it man. Just because we once in a while sneak subliminal messaging in our commercials to get people to vote for Jeb! Bush doesn't mean we're in on a conspiracy to get the another Bush elected. I mean it. Stop investigating. That's not what we're doing.

Whopper? What the McHell are you talking about? That's not an image of a whopper.

-RealMcDonalds

-RealMcDonalds

In other news we just acquired CRISPR. all of it like intellectual property and all. we actually snuck into every lab on earth and left like it was an ocean's eleven movie. all our beefcows are now fucked up silent hill creatures but they're so god damn juicy. and we spliced some of elon's dna into the chickens and now theyre all god damn stupid but they fuck a lot. the only problem is that they dont take care of the chicks.

hey you seem like you would want some it and we're kind of done with it. you want our CRISPR?

-FakeMcDonalds
