Fair. And now I'm apparently "a raging conservative" wow. Good to know.

@futurebird welcome to the club. While I am more of a cranky conservative than a raging one, I believe that is good to conserve what good things we have, or at least not make them worse

This logo is being pushed as a story about "conservatives are mad about it" (are they really? Hm.) and to conservatives as "the left did this?" (No.)

This isn't politically aligned. It's corporate, soulless. You can get a car in any color you like as long as it is gray. Every apartment has white walls. It's a design trend driven by sanding down the texture of everything so it can be monetized.

The old logo is brimming with *diversity* and character.

@futurebird I am definitely harboring conservative sentiments wrt car colors and designs in general

It's odd to me that this is surfacing in media as "conservative" when I think it's much more popular than that. And I first encountered annoyed essays and rants about this design trend in VERY left wing circles where everyone said "yes, capitalism is ugly again"

Not "cars have gone woke because they are gray" Frankly I don't even get how the logic on that could work.

How is having less uniqueness ... "woke" ? Isn't it the other way around?

@futurebird @alter_kaker @liferstate I’m pretty frickin’ left, and the new Cracker Barrel logo upsets me.

@futurebird @alter_kaker @liferstate you can still get a red car, except that you have to buy the most expensive model to have that choice. Having a non-grey car is now a demonstration of status, rather than aesthetic choice.

I assume that anything they don't like is "woke" by definition.

I'm proceeding from now on with the assumption that any news story "conservatives/liberals are mad about (minor thing)" is probably nonsense based on a few dozen tweets and it may or may not have any real relevance.

Find a new framing device.
