It's like that 80s news footage of the first McDonald's opening in Moscow where they're like ![so-true](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/16aee6ba-56ea-4262-855c-6ab37636b08a.png "emoji so-true") ”finally those filthy commies get to enjoy our superior Western treats”

Then they interview someone who says it wasn't really worth it to stand in line and pay so much ![lenin-laugh](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/8515ff7f-6de9-4375-86a8-51cf3f209a31.png "emoji lenin-laugh")

Lmao westerners having a totally normal one over the lack of loyalty of a slop-house to the divinely-ordained imperial cause.

Imperialism: good

Slavery: good (when in prison or countries that I can't find on a map)

Burger King in Russia: moral outrage

Libs rock

They outrage is such a great example of western exceptionalism. The existence of western consumer businesses in the countries of the non-Aryan jungle is supposed to be an immense benefit to these places and their departure must necessarily be disastrous for them. Nowhere is the idea entertained that Russians are perfectly capable of creating their own shitty burger restaurants to replace those if the west.
