feast-1feast-2 I did it, folks. I took all the hamburgers, all for me. You can't have them anymore because they're mine now.

the only reason that fuckass two cows analogy has any staying power is that americans are immediately reminded of burger and anything adjacent to it being brought to their mind provides them with enrichment

Bruh, that's the real dystopic American future, not cyberpunk

One day the cheeseburger clan and the twin patty clan (after decades of sectarian conflict between the big Mac clan and the double whopper clan and cuisinally similar clans, they united on the idea of two patties ultimately sandwiched between two buns, regardless of further divisive contents) will set aside their differences to topple the heretical colonial pizza empire; and you know what? I think they may just win.

Burgerpunk is the real dystopian American present.

After the raids in 2006, the company needed to replenish its work force fast. Swift executives set up a war room where they posted maps on the walls and circled target cities for recruitment. The company’s H.R. team advertised on the radio and in local newspapers. They bought space on billboards. They sent representatives to job fairs and set up a recruitment station at unemployment offices. But few workers would bite. Finally, Swift started offering free bus service to Cactus from Amarillo. Somali refugees began to apply, and in 2007, after JBS acquired Swift, it stepped up the hiring of refugees to maintain production.

It's surprising that this story actually reveals one of the key problems of industrial agriculture, the vertical integration and monopolization which has grown exponentially since the '80s--particularly through M&As and finance capital buyouts. The working conditions in these plants are often beyond description, and the article only obliquely mentions the latest work hazard: Covid. A family member lived in Sioux Falls, SD during the worst of the pandemic years, and they told me of the panic that spread through the community as workers at the Smithfield plant there got sick and died. It turns out that Covid spreads best in cold, damp conditions, which makes meat processing plants uniquely dangerous. Then there was the spectacle of Donald Trump insisting that the plants stay open during the worst of the pandemic, which resulted in huge spread of Covid outside of the confines of the plants and the predictable deaths of workers from the virus.

Look, now I'm not saying there aren't some kickass burgers out there but when you get down to it a burger is just a type of sandwich.

And basing your politics or national identity around a sandwich is pure uncut absurdity.

In a way this is the establishment dabbing on you. This is an example of how powerless electoralism is. Because the permitted political discourse takes this fucking form right here. This is how maddeningly banal and farcical it is. The news isn't about the electoral choice its about the argument over the electoral choice. We are trapped inside this monster of empire but somehow you can ignore the stomach lining undulating around you because it happened to also swallow a vending machine when it gulped you down. You can still hit a button and choose a treat even with all other horizons foreclosed. But even more important than the choice you can argue over what to choose with your fellow belly dwellers.

Did Trump even say that at all? I remember laughing at Sebastian Gorka.

Don't tell me the propaganda machine can't even get basic names right...

It's super cool rhat every subsequent admin since Bush has been more and more vicious about exiling millions and millions of workers, holding them in concentration camps, and doing it all in violation of us and international law and basic principles of human rights. I love that for us. amerikkka

I'm going to take your hamburgers. Rally to me, citizens. We will put all ranchers to the sword. The thirsty soil of the west will drink deep of their blood. We will travel the land, tin snips in hand, and unfence the west. The corpse of this continent will once again know life.
