    The angry Russian McDonald's fan said closing down the outlet was an act of hostility against him and his fellow citizens

    Long queues were spotted outside the fast-food chain, videos showed cars lined up in a Moscow drive-thru and pictures showed customers lining the streets in the snow to have one last meal

    This is incredible. Amerika really did export its brain rot to the post Soviet Union huh.

    "I, Luka Safronov-Zatravkin, a pianist, want to declare the violation of my international rights, freedom of self-expression, and also of genocide on social-cultural membership. I was born 31 October 1990 – just after 9 months after the foundation of the 1st McDonald's in Russia. This coincidence is likely to have had an impact on my further life. Together with me McDonald's different kinds of freedom came into my life. Freedom of choice, freedom of moving, freedom of translation of my own values and following them. Americans attracted us by their flavorings and haunting ads for many things. It's not only fast food,"

    TREATS ARE FREEDOM

    TAKING AWAY MY TREATS IS GENOCIDE

    :frothingfash:

    Reckon that date might be a coincidence with anything else? Any other world events that might make the lives of yourself and the people around you miserable and socially alienated? Any potential world-changing happenings that occurred right around that time?

      Fast food is some of the only places that working people can afford to eat. This man might have lost his main source of food.

      I thought it would be, but I skimmed it and it read pretty matter-of-fact-ly. Maybe I missed something. It could be fatphobic in terms of the excess attention devoted to the story, but I don't know how many people have chained themselves to businesses this week.

      Edit: the tweet from the Financial Times journalist was fatphobic, but this story was just quoting him.
