Oh I certainly wasn’t proposing a practical transition method away from it. Nor do I think our authorities would willingly give up that gravy train. I’m just saying it’s an offense against freedom, privacy, and informed consent. Frankly, aadvertising threatens the stability of civilization itself, and it must be reigned in to ensure any kind of positive future. But a near total ban would be even better.

I dont.

Your reaction to that was not to consider a single word I said, but to take offense.

The advertising industry had their chance to run an ethical business model.
- Comment on Facebook Allegedly Detected When Teen Girls Deleted Selfies So It Could Serve Them Beauty Ads 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Facebook Allegedly Detected When Teen Girls Deleted Selfies So It Could Serve Them Beauty Ads 1 week ago:
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.

Oh they had roadside billboards in 1950. And they were a blight back then. Advertising is a cancer.
- Comment on Facebook Allegedly Detected When Teen Girls Deleted Selfies So It Could Serve Them Beauty Ads 1 week ago:
They can put up signs inside their business windows. That’s plenty. Everything is a blight.

Same here. Grew up deep in the South. Kids got in trouble for racist talk in public school.

Simpler even than that. It would mean someone gets to tell them no.

Seconded. Do not buy our products. Build your militaries, sad to say. Save your holidays for better nations.

Peer pressure to conform, toxic masculinity, homophobia, dirty jokes and failure to grasp dark humor, society failing to train boys to mature into men, propaganda news, obsession with team sports, lack of good education, lack of mentorship, etc.

I work blue collar. I know some.

We had that. Now the racists are in charge, they’re burning it all down and proppjng pathetically incompetent white conservatives. The experiment already ran for centuries in this country, and clearly demonstrated the idiocy of racism. But bigots never get sick of trying it again. Racist businesses will fail, yet again. What about that are you not understanding?
- Comment on Enshittification 1 month ago:
Because race is irrelevant. Bigotry is not.
- Comment on Enshittification 1 month ago:
Because for bigots, racism trumps profits.
- Comment on Enshittification 1 month ago:
DEI ensured that qualified minorities could not legally be passed over by racists in favor of UNqualified whites, as clearly you are. I would never offer you a job.

I would absolutely go for 6 fingers. Preferably an additional thumb. Not to mention an additional joint in each. Let’s go base 12!
