Pictured from distribution Center in Baldwin Park, CA. They’ve been flying this flag for years. This hasn’t gotten much attention but In n out also was anti-vax and anti-lockdown during COVID. The CEO also recently went on a right wing podcast to announce they’re moving the HQ to Tennessee but backed out after getting backlash. They would wave the MAGA flag if they knew they wouldn’t get in trouble for it but are ‘softballing’ with the Don’t Tread On Me flag.
Anyone who still thinks the flag isn’t right wing and is meant to represent anti tyranny clearly hasn’t been paying attention to politics the last few years. This is the same way the Swastika was a symbol for peace , it was co opted by Nazis. I personally will stop eating at In-N-Out. Will save me some calories at least.

So all those Lemmy posts before about people boycotting Target et. al were just for show? So can I go and back to Target now?
I mean, yeah, sorta. Lemmy is absolutely tiny, and what the majority of people here say or are saying is definitely not a good indicator if that's actually the popular or even significant opinion elsewhere.
Now the particular thing you were describing could have been a bigger thing culturally, but I don't actually know because I don't use anything really besides Lemmy, either way though, I would wager a significant amount of money that the majority of people that participated in that are now back to shopping at Target.
I feel like either way I'm a poser now. I just can't help but notice the women that go to target over walmart. It's not such a tough decision when I think about it like that. Also not offense to Walmart shoppers. I personally shop at Walmart but I was avoiding Target because I thought we were all doing it.
Well, I mean, you should still stick to your principles and do what you think is right. That's still important at the end of the day.
