It was always coming. With the dovetailing of corporate social responsibility and social justice causes (i.e. “getting woke”), big global businesses are now moving into the territory of actively encouraging political violence towards conservatives.

Burger King – which has an historically poor marketing performance amongst millennials – is seemingly trying to do something about it by targeting political figures unpopular with said demographic.

I said a few weeks ago things are about to get worse in the sphere of corporations involving themselves in politics. At the time I was thinking of Big Tech, but Gillette, Nabisco, and now Burger King are telling the business world: “Hold my beer”.

“Oh, but it’s just a few milkshakes that have been thrown at Tommy Robinson, Raheem! Lighten up!”

Sure, there’s somewhat of an organic history to politicians taking food items to the face on the campaign trail.

But compare a farm worker egging John Prescott 18 years ago to the organized, corporate-backed endeavors of leftists to try to harass right wing figures and it starts to get a little uncomfortable.

I’m not worried about some sugar-crammed Burger King shake hitting anyone. I’m worried about the unwieldy power of big corporates in politics.

If you’re not the type who likes to predict trends out, you should probably stop reading here. Because I’m not worried about some sugar-crammed Burger King shake hitting anyone. I’m worried about the unwieldy power of big corporates in politics, and what the end game is when the right inevitably fights back. And the police agree with me.

Fast food establishments in Scotland were asked to not serve milkshakes or ice creams during the campaign visit of Nigel Farage. The left has been openly organizing the splatter of shakes against their political adversaries for weeks, since it started happening to Tommy Robinson.
