      Haha what? I’m not burning billboards and slaughtering CEOs. I’m just sick to death of all these ads. Advertising is a distributed global brainwashing campaign, by the wealthy, against the working class. They don’t hire psychologists to exploit our lizard brains for no reason, and that’s why it needs to be outlawed.

        That’s a generalization. The White Rose was doing “advertising”, and I think that’s all but “by the wealthy, against the working class”.

        Advertising has its place and can be beneficial to society, it just needs regulations (admittedly, A LOT of them).

          You mean that local mom and pop store that was briefly allowed to exist before they got crushed by a corporate juggernaut?

          When a society allows itself to be psychologically manipulated in such an all pervasing manner, the people participate in their own subjugation and call it freedom. What a surprise.
