I obviously didn't mean calling marketing propaganda suddenly makes everything better but that if we stopped letting words be changed because some jew decided to astroturf them into our language things would be better off. If anything the solution now would be to disregard entirely poisoned words and use alternatives or reframe phrases like 'cultural enrichment' since they never had strong connotations to begin with. Just being aware of the linguistic shifts that have happened over the years can help people know how to deal with language in the future and therein lies the value of telling people about it.

Not against it, but it is more effective dealing with the wizard rather than trying to undo all his spells.

I like the (brazilian) Portuguese language because their word for advertising is "propaganda"

Same as Chinese, the word propaganda covers anything from advertising (which it is at many times), to religious preaching (also true), all the way to shitty state-endorsed messages. There's specific words for each but the general term translates directly to "propaganda (傳媒)".

I like this one too.

If these leftards feel guilty when they laugh at a stonetoss comic, they are free to create their own.
The attempts so far have been shit though. Edits of their edits are often far better and sends the same leftist message.

Good post, but I sincerely doubt this claim. People who are online a ton don't really realize how little normal people think about this stuff. We might notice when companies (or, more likely, the marketing department of said company) push subversive agendas, but barely anybody I've met in meatspace knows or even cares. The only real exception is stuff like Coca-Cola saying "be less white", and even then, normal people might roll their eyes, but they're not going to stop drinking soda over it.

The thing about advertising is you don't need to consciously love it or hate it to have an effect, that was precisely my point. Nobody back in the day realized that advertising was literally establishing and reinforcing an American way of life. If you asked anyone back then about the ads they would all say they don't notice and they're stupid. And yet somehow advertising persists as a multi-billion dollar industry. In fact, the precise reason it is so effective is because people are neither hot nor cold on it. They are daydreaming, and the messaging takes passive effect. Then one day you wake up and notice that when you bring up to your family how fucked up it all seems, you're suddenly a fringe personality. Now you're the weird one for noticing, or caring.

It happened with the Kardashians too. They were shoved down everyone's throat, and very quickly it became cringe to even call it out or care about it, and then it became cool to ironically like it, and now here we are: more people make a conscious attempt to block it out while these people become influential billionaires both mainstream and transgressive at the same time. This all happened within I'd say 5 years. You can expand this process out to all sorts of things; the people calling it out shut up in an effort not to be cringe online, and all the while the rest of the world becomes slightly more retarded and hostile towards you.
The "be less white" thing, like I said in my post, is them shit-testing the system. Gillette did the same when they told all men that men suck. Just because people reel it in momentarily does not mean the movement has stopped. Usually it means it is being normalized.
The Corporate Approved Ideology is to make quarterly returns. All the products we complain about, I suppose it's never occurred to anyone that they are usually targeting males and females aged 18-35, and that this targeting is all about soft revolution, changing the world, being yourself, etc.? Like I said, it is not an ideology, it is a lifestyle. The lifestyle has always been youthful rebellion. The fact that corporations are going after it means they see it as an exploitable narrative, not because they believe in it. Nike knows their prime demographic is young niggers. So they went hard with the BLM thing. But Nike did not invent BLM. It just wants young niggers. Corporations are a cultural barometer, not a driving force.
To me the real takeaway has always been: both corporations and politicians will listen to you if you're loud enough. White people - white men especially - just think shutting up makes them smarter than everyone.

You just wrote a terrificly good post. But let's not pretend there isn't also a disproportionate response when white (men) make themselves heard. It is a learned behaviour, not an innate one.

Things like unite the right march or the Q people that stormed the capitol are also massively populat among segments. Not a single corp latches onto that for advertising, because it isn't just about reaching people; it is very much is about a preconceived cultural change. As stonetoss says: burgers?

At first I thought the joke was that the guy doing the robbing was some sort of far-right extremist / boog boy (clown mask) who would become a shaking, stuttering mess in the presence of a woman... the actual joke is kinda lame by comparison.

You would have preffered a joke based in fantasy than one in truth?

There's plenty of easy criticism of right wing extremists, but even such poor specimen as the crying nazi don't seem to have that particular problem.

The female cop thing doesn't fit that great because they would be facing a man making his last stand. They would only be scarier than a male cop if there was a situation were they through incompetence, or seeing a threat were there is none, use lethal force.

You don't know that he's making a last stand.

You know you'd make a great female cop, thinking that this must necessarily be a shootout to the death.
