It went from “restaurant of the summer” to “not woke enough” in just 24 hours.

One day after celebrated Brooklyn rooftop restaurant Outerspace received a glowing review in the New York Times, the chefs and general manager all walked out. One chef issued a scathing denunciation of the eatery’s fashion-world owners, accusing them of misogyny, a “colonial” attitude toward the food and their employees, and “skimming” bar proceeds.

It sounds like woke management went head to head with woke employees. It also sounds like they deserved each other.

“Can someone translate that puddle of bird droppings into English for me?”

Sure thing.

“War is coming.”

Outwardly, the restaurant advertised itself as a socialist place. Inwardly, pure capitalism.

The usual socialist bit, where the leaders get everything and workers get nothing.

“culture vultures dressed in normcore” means “could be trendy, conspicuous people but choose not to be.” “Internalized misogynist” means “I want to accuse her of hating women, but she is one.”

‘Dated power dynamics’ means ‘I have the money, so I make the decisions.’ See “employer.”

Wow, these woke imbeciles have their own language and everything... “

I’ll translate.
They spent 8 years getting a useless woman’s studies degree .
Not one useful class such as accounting or statistics
in those 8 college years.
And $180,000 in student loan debt.
Starbucks barista is the only job they were offered.
And they are mad that you aren’t enthused to pay their student loans off for them .

Well the correct version of a quote from the article:

“white people [who] feel entitled to writing narratives that don’t belong to them.”

is

“white, politically correct urban liberals feel entitled to writing narratives that don’t belong to them.”

Does that help?

Who the hell is stupid enough to run a business in NY City? High costs, crazy regulations, woke politics, lazy workers, arrogant customers.

Speaking of Capitalism, am I the only person to notice that Chinchakriya Un, the lady who posted the oft-quoted rant on Instagram, owns her own Cambodian food business? Nothing like free publicity in a Capitalist-driven society.

$40 for main courses? Add on sides, drinks, tax, tips, and parking for 2 its a $200+ bill for sure. No thanks I will skip NYC and the Empire State where we have 100k+ state workers earning 100k+ per annum.

I met a lot of very brave Cambodians in their country during the war. None of them ever talked like this Kreung/Un creature. They didn’t have time to learn fake racist words because they were fighting for their lives and freedom.

Looks like a few “Red Apples” got a seat on the refugee boat.

Hey, unemployment in New York City has got to be fun. Enjoy your stupidity, crime, trash, and unemployment.
