  Haha what? 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.

      @RedditIsDeddit @Olhonestjim If ads were banned, they wouldn't have to.

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

        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.

    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.

        I know, and that sucks. But outright banning something that has its benefits has always been detrimental (not to mention, they’d just find sneakier ways to do it and it’d be worse for everyone). We need regulations, a lot of them, not banning entirely.

        Plus who are we kidding, everyone in power is so deep into the advertising/propaganda industry that neither of those options have a decent chance of happening in our lifetime.
