yes

this is why people believe in absurdism now btw

How did they endorse political violence? I don’t know anything about Scotland because it isn’t part of America

People have been throwing milkshakes at political rallys. THe police actually asked mcdonalds not to sell milkshakes on the day of a political rally. Burger king responds by virtue signaling and saying they would be selling milkshakes

winking and nodding at people they endorse that kind of behavior

Oh that’s weird

#justsaying

they had to cover their asses by the above tweet

Or, maybe there is one social manager who didn't understand what they are doing....

But if you go by what B.K has been doing lately it could be a company endorsement.

what other context could they be signaling that they're still selling milkshakes

did they think the police asked them not to sell milkshakes because that's what powering right wing rally's

there no reason to signal your **still** selling milkshakes unless you know mcdonald's been asked not to because people are throwing them at other people

Maybe they didn't see what the police asked and just saw MC'd asked not to sell milkshakes to throw at people, so just thought it would be cute to say "You can still buy ours".

also they signaled to the exact region

so they knew people were throwing them at people

they're still endorsing throwing them at people

The best way to read it is the social media person did that without consulting someone higher up and then they got told to make the second tweet

No, the person running the twitter could just be happy to get people to buy their crappy shakes, not caring about what people will do with them (not that throwing shakes at people is the worst).

I'm just saying, we don't know their intent, so i am not trying to read to much into it till we know more (if anyone cares).

that be like rental enterprise being told to hold off on renting more cars because people were running people over with the rental and hertz goes hey we're still renting our cars out. but hey that guy just wanted to rent out more cars

thats still shit thing to do

And humans do stupid things like that all the time, without realizing the bad intent of said actions.

The action was still bad. And in this specific case this person still put selling milkshakes above not endorsing violence

no matter what they knew people were throwing them at people

so your still excusing someon endorsing violence

You can not know if its an endorsement of violence or not... We only know they are trying to sell shakes.

No this person had to know the context to formulate the tweet that way. other wise it would be more generic like a general tweet about selling milkshakes

They knew specifically about the issue in scotland

If they generically said something like milkshakes on sale this weekend. then they might not have known

Its actually more specific than even my car analogy above because it gives a time frame and location.

Also a quick scan of their twitter shows they don't formulate promotion tweets like that. furthering they were refercing that specific event

Like I said the good faith interpretation is that a person who does endorse made that tweet, but that isn't the stance of the company.

See post about other company being asked not to sell milkshakes in area.
Offers people who would like them to go to their store instead.

Where in that sequence of actions did an endorsement happen?
I'm only saying, since i'm not a mind reader. Without understanding the person who put the posts ups intent, i can't say Why they did it or not.

The #justsaying confirms they knew to me

I could totally see some stupid person who runs the twitter saying to themselves "hehehe own the stupid racist sexist brexiters", and later someone higher up saying hey what the hell, send out a tweet saying we don't endorse violence.

1. Social media manager 2. for Burger King

I'd put the chance that they're a leftist at 99%

@grant Yes, you can see that. But is it what we know? I'm more then happy with your last point of its just the persons dumb tweet, but since i don't know what that person thinks, i don't like reading ill intend into foolish actions (unless its clearly understood).

Why mention scotland

why mention mention that specific weekend
