That’s just a lie…

The food is good, for “fast” food it’s amazing. Like, I don’t think there’s another fastfood option that hasn’t fully transition to the mcChicken method were the patty is reconstituted scraps.

Their politics with LGBTQ is (was?) absolute dog shit and more than enough reason to boycott them as an isolated issue…

But honestly looking at any other aspect of their company, and they’re one of the most worker friendly options. Which again, is not a high bar to clear, especially in fast food.

So if anyone is boycotting Chick-fil-A, they have valid reasons. It’s just damn near every other option is even worse, so if they have consistent logic their boycott list is every major corporation. Like, the owner has 10 billion dollars, no billionaire owned company is going to be ethical. If someone’s only issue with Chick-fil-A is the anti-lgbt stuff, that doesn’t mean they’re a good person, it means they only care about the demographic they consider “us”.

But again; saying they’re food isn’t good is just a flat out lie.

Dude, you’re fighting a losing battle here. Their food is good, I like it just fine, and these people are clearly just letting their personal bias get in the way of that. I do not agree with Chick-fil-As politics, but im not gonna let that stop me from eating it when my boss goes out and brings it back to us for free. There isnt a single good chicken place near work, other than Chick-fil-A.

I mean, there’s a reason humans are still tribal in 2026, and it’s not exclusive to conservatives.

We evolved to handle the social load of less than 200 other humans, that’s the entire world we evolved for…

Everyone else is a “them” and we can juggle a couple groups of them, lumped by superficial characteristics because that’s how tribes identified themselves.

We couldn’t know every member of every tribe, so we judged everyone by their tribe.

People who strongly identify as LGBT, hate Chick-fil-A more than they hate McDonald’s, despite McDonald’s working closely with trump, treating their workers much worse, and serving vastly unhealthier food. And their CEO probably being just as against LGBT as chicfila’s.

All that matter is chicfila is “a bad tribe” so anyone that doesn’t treat that specific tribe as 100% an enemy, becomes an enemy of everyone slightly connected to LGBT in their eyes.

It’s not logical, but I understand why they’re doing it.

It just sucks that same behavior is exploited for issues much larger than a fucking chicken sandwich. If they “fight” chicfila with shit like comments in this thread, they get the same dopamine hit as doing anything productive, and then are less likely to actually be productive.

Bread and fucking circuses man.

The only way out of that maladaptive wiring, is treating every individual as a tribe of one, it’s just hard and brains are lazy.
