McDonald’s Announces Plan to Save the Climate

The food is barely edible, but the important thing is that McDonald’s is woke. It cares about the climate:

McDonald’s announced on Tuesday plans to further reduce the amount of fossil fuel-based plastic in their Happy Meal toys within four years…

Apparently recycled plastic doesn’t count as being made from fossil fuel.

The company said the plan aims to cut out 90% of virgin fossil fuel-based plastics in Happy Meal toys by the end of 2025.

In all seriousness, the purpose of this righteous posturing is to make the weather colder. According to liberal doctrine, plastic makes it be too hot outside. The ideology of our ruling class is that insane.

Now if only McDonald’s would stop making their food out of plastic — and stop making it smaller:

Bank of America Pushes Hardcore Leftist Indoctrination

When it comes to corporate moonbattery, it seemed we must have reached maximum insanity more than a year ago, when virtually every high-profile corporation was shoveling praise and mountains of cash at Marxist black supremacists as they burned down neighborhoods, looted stores, and destroyed statues of American heroes. Yet they keep pushing the envelope further still. Rather than merely encouraging sociopathic BLM/Antifa thugs to implement the leftist agenda, they do it themselves by brainwashing their employees with anti-American race hate ideology. As Christopher Rufo reveals, Bank of America is yet another corporation that has gone full woke:

This year, BOA executive Charles Bowman announced a new “equity” initiative called United in Action, in partnership with the United Way of Central Carolinas. According to documents I have reviewed, BOA executives launched the initiative by encouraging employees to participate in a 21-day race-training “challenge” funded in part by the bank and built on the principles of critical race theory.

CRT, the official ideology of the Biden Administration, is grounded in the belief that whites are intrinsically evil.

According to the training program, all whites — “regardless of one’s socioeconomic class background or other disadvantages” — are “living a life with white-skin privileges.” Even children are implicated in the system of white supremacy: According to the program materials, white toddlers “develop racial biases by ages 3 to 5” and “should be actively taught to recognize and reject the ‘smog’ of white privilege.”

“Privileged” people are as bad as “oppressed” people are good. Nazi Party equivalents were “Jewish” and “Aryan,” respectively.

According to the program,

As a result of being part of the “dominant culture,” whites are more likely to “have more limited imagination,” “experience fear, anxiety, guilt or shame,” “contribute to racial tension, hatred and violence” and “react in broken ways.”

In contrast, sacred People of Color cannot be racist. If the victims are white, the guide proclaims that “racism and discrimination are not possible.” White victims of racism are themselves guilty of “white fragility.”

The indoctrination touches on many of progressives’ favorite themes, including microaggressions, the need to defund and even abolish the police, and the intersectional totalitarianism concept of “environmental justice.” The rhetoric is as vituperative and extreme as you might expect in a Victim Studies faculty lounge.

CRT ideology is deranged, depraved, and destructive. Imposing it on employees is illegal according to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. But don’t expect Bank of America to be prosecuted by the Justice Department of the Biden Administration, which has been aggressively engaged in the same crime.

Celebrating the Exposure of Toddlers to Depravity

Do you think toddlers should be exposed to degeneracy and sexual depravity? The global corporate establishment does. Note that this includes Amazon and Unilever:

Unilever brands include Ben & Jerry’s, Dove, Lipton, Q-tips, Suave, Vaseline, and many more.

The appalling photograph won an award for being “iconic.” The reward is warranted, if by “iconic” they mean it is emblematic of what leftism is doing to Western Civilization.

American Express to Employees: Capitalism Is Racist

A house divided against itself cannot stand. That is bad news for the corporate establishment, because it has gone in whole hog on Black Lives Matter and critical race theory, both of which consist of Marxism gussied up with a veneer of black supremacism. Businessmen pandering to Marxists is as insane as Jews supporting Nazis. Yet we read this:

American Express, which made a $2.3 billion profit last quarter, invited the great-grandson of the Nation of Islam’s founder to tell its employees that capitalism is evil.

It was part of AmEx’s critical race theory indoctrination program.

Employees are forced to rank themselves on the cultural Marxist totem pole according to their “privilege.” By now everyone knows how this works. The more you reflect the core population that created America, the more “privileged” you are, the more you must hate yourself and submit to marginalization on behalf of those above you in the phony victimhood caste system.

Due to the doctrine of intersectionality, the hierarchy can be complicated, with new groups of “oppressed” persons invented on an ongoing basis. However, Christian white male heterosexuals will always be found at the bottom.

[T]rainers instruct employees how to change their behavior in the office based on their relative position on the hierarchy. The trainers provide a blue flowchart with specific rules for interacting with black, female and LGBT employees: If members of a subordinate [i.e., politically preferred] group are present, workers should practice “intersectional allyship” and defer to them before speaking.

Failing to yield submissively to those who are more “oppressed” might constitute a “microaggression.” HR departments do not look fondly upon those who commit microaggressions in corporate America these days.

Since not being racist is racist according to CRT dogma, it is strictly forbidden:

White employees are told not to utter phrases such as “I don’t see color,” “We are all human beings” and “Everyone can succeed in this society if they work hard enough” — all categorized as “microaggressions.”

At one high-profile “anti-racism” event, AmEx execs invited Khalil Muhammad — great-grandson of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad — to lecture on “race in corporate America.” He argued that the system of capitalism was founded on racism and that “racist logics and forms of domination” have shaped Western society from the Industrial Revolution to the present.

Ironically, Nation of Islam really was founded on racism. A core belief is that the white race is inherently evil. The implication that a Final Solution is called for is obvious.

Unsurprisingly, Muhammad advocates racism:

Muhammad argued [that] the company should reduce standards for black customers and sacrifice profits in the interest of race-based reparations.

Employees are also subjected to propaganda calling for the abolition of prisons, no doubt because prison is racist. As prisons are abolished, they will be replaced by concentration camps — until such a time as all racists (and therefore all capitalists) have been liquidated, at which point utopia will have been achieved.

Subway Gets Blowback From Megan Rapinoe Ads

Corporations have gone all-in for ultraleft politics. This has entailed not only shoveling mountains of money at Marxist rioters and relentlessly pushing woke social engineering through commercials, but also choosing conspicuously vile anti-Americans as the faces of their products. Nike may get away with it with Colin Kaepernick. That doesn’t mean Subway will with Megan Rapinoe.

Not all franchisees are overjoyed to see Rapinoe in commercials for the chain, behaving with characteristic obnoxiousness by kicking a ball so that it knocks a burrito out of a Hispanic-looking guy’s hand while he’s trying to eat it.

From the New York Post:

Late last month on a discussion forum hosted by the North American Association of Subway Franchisees, a Wisconsin store operator posted a picture of a hand-scrawled note from an irate customer taped to the front door of his shop. …

“The ad should be pulled and done with,” the franchisee wrote of the Rapinoe spot. “It gets tiring apologizing.”

The note likely speaks for many former customers:

The consensus of the ruling class is that only moonbats matter. However, outside of the media propaganda bubble, moonbattery is widely regarded with the contempt and revulsion it deserves, especially in red states.

“Spending our money to make a political statement is completely and totally out of bounds,” an Arizona franchisee said on the NAASF blog about the corporate parent.

Franchisees own their stores, but have to kick in a percentage of revenue, which pays for advertising.

Another Midwest-based franchisee said Subway should have seen this coming before signing Rapinoe. In July 2019, she took heat for allegedly stomping on the American flag. Weeks earlier, she created headlines when she said she was not going to the “f**king White House” if invited to visit President Trump.

Apart from politics, there is Rapinoe’s personality, which is unappealing even by moonbat standards:

Nonetheless, woke corporate decisionmakers pay this horrid woman to alienate their customers:

Rapinoe this year has inked other endorsement deals besides Subway, including a tie-up with Victoria’s Secret in June.

It is doubtful that the far from pulchritudinous Rapinoe modeling skimpy underwear would appeal even to her fellow lesbians. As always in advertising, pushing moonbattery comes first, selling the product afterward. Nothing else could explain plunging from Adriana Lima to Megan Rapinoe.

Disney World Cancels Christmas

Leftists’ annual War on Christmas is off to an early start this year. Hyperwoke Disney has already fired the first cannon blast of 2021:

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, an extremely popular yuletide tradition, is going to be rebranded. Instead, the Magic Kingdom will host a night time show.

The new “don’t call it Christmas” event is called ‘Disney Very Merriest After Hours’ – a generic, holiday-themed celebration.

The word “merry” may be all that survives of Christmas tradition if moonbattery prevails.

Like every other facet of our cultural heritage, Christmas has been deemed “noninclusive” and therefore “offensive.” Those who find generic winter scenes too drab are allowed to celebrate one of our proliferating black supremacist holidays, Kwanzaa.

More purging at Disney World:

Among the “offensive rides” that have been updated are Pirates of the Caribbean and Splash Mountain – a ride inspired by Song of the South. They also plan to update the Jungle Cruise over concerns about the depictions of natives.

Only that which woke scolds have not gotten around to declaring to be offensive is allowed in the public square. What remains of American culture becomes ever narrower as it shrinks away to nothing.

Disney also eliminated the words “ladies and gentlemen” and “boys and girls” from recorded greetings at its theme parks.

What is the point of an amusement park for children when even the concepts of boys and girls have been canceled?

IKEA Polysexual Love Seat Collection

The moonbats running IKEA stepped on a rake by trying to pander to blacks by serving fried chicken and watermelon on “Juneteenth.” How were Swedes to know that associating blacks with food they like is a felony thought crime? But maybe the company can win its way back into the good graces of the woke with their polysexual loveseat collection.

Via IKEA:

There’s more to Pride than a rainbow. That’s why we created Love Seats – a collection of IKEA loveseats inspired by the Pride flags of different 2SLGBTQ+ identities. Designed and created by artists active in the 2SLGBTQ+ community, the loveseats are a platform to celebrate identity and share stories of love.

The collection includes 10 loveseats, inspired by the following psychosexual aberrations: nonbinary, transgender, progress, bisexual, pansexual, lesbian, genderfluid, transgender again, asexual, and 2spirit. What “progress” means in the context of sexual deviancy is thankfully left to the imagination.

See if you can keep your breakfast in place after sitting through this:

Liberals have managed to make degeneracy and sexual depravity schmalzy, hokey, and boring.
