MODERATORS
Advertising is one of the most prolific environmental pollutants of economic activity, and needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.
It’s not “advertising.” That’s a euphemism. It’s #CapitalistPropaganda. Fucking straight up social manipulation and we’re fire-hosed with it from the day we’re born. It’s the prime reason we can no longer organize collective responses to capitalism.
Nah, as noxious as it is, too many people still consider smoking socially acceptable.
Advertising should be as socially acceptable as ripping random people's eyes off with a rusty spoon, shitting in the socket, and charging them for it.
i love smoking but hate advertisements. am I that bad? I put an ad blocker on everything and anything that blocks ad blockers or requires me to pay to not see ads doesnt get used
Smoking is pretty bad, yes, but advertising is orders of magnitude worse. On a whole other league. Even worse than speaking in the theatre.
