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.
You mean that local mom and pop store that was briefly allowed to exist to maintain the illusion 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.
There exists one of the most powerful groups on the planet who considers it their right to sneak inside your mind to twist your decision making ability to whatever amoral ends they like. They pump their filth into your head your every waking hour, and they’ll get into your dreams once they have the technology. Rather than revulsion and disgust, your reaction to this is “ok, but maybe just a little less than they do now.”
What a surprise.
No. There is nowhere in the world more sacred than our own minds, and no one else has the right to worm their way inside, en masse, to alter them as they will.
How about you speak for yourself instead of speaking for others? all I stated is that advertising isn’t inherently evil by itself and you go putting words in my mouth about other shit.
They can put up signs inside their business windows. That’s plenty. Everything else is a blight.
It’s not 1950 anymore.
They are making billboards illegal in most places. And it’s a pretty awesome improvement I must say.
Oh they had roadside billboards in 1950. And they were a blight back then. Advertising is a cancer.
Extremism is cancer.

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).
The advertising industry had their chance to run an ethical business model.
Now they have their own corporate spy agencies and propaganda networks.
Your local mom & pop store also uses advertising smart guy.

Your reaction to that was not to consider a single word I said, but to take offense.
@RedditIsDeddit @Olhonestjim If ads were banned, they wouldn’t have to.
