: Has anyone else realised how the U.S. runs the bloody planet?: Forget super power conflict even in the cold war the U.S was running everything because the russian citizens had no alternative but to admit they where right their version of socialism was a shambols.
Give me a break, Comrad. The US doesn't run the planet. If you don't like McDonalds, or anything else American, vote with your dollars. In other words, if McDonalds wasn't providing something people WANT, McDonalds would go out of business!!
I think the bottom line for people like you is that the world should be run according to YOUR standards, regardless of what people want to chose for themselves.
The risk isn't from the US, it's from people like YOU who want to dictate what is correct for the rest of us. After all, McDonalds hasn't sold over 20 billion hamburgers because people are too stupid to figure out what they want.
I call your reasoning Elitist Totalitarianism. Don't like the burgers? Don't buy them! But in the mean time, leave the rest of us alone.
None.
