I swear, people on the comm are deeply uncurious and in denial about basic facts. The ad was unquestionably promoting eugenics in a silly tongue and cheek way 🤪. We live in a fascist state where people and companies feel more bold in coming out of the closet as evil; how is it so hard to believe that they’d run an ad like that?

I doubt it’s just this comm though. Americans in general are as in denial about the state of things as the 1930s Germans before them. Things are more outrageous than they feel comfortable with, so to maintain their view of a just world, they just become further detached from reality. It’s easier to think the ground under you is stable than scramble to deal with the quicksand.

    why wouldbt they have done so before?

    Does a political climate of concentration camps sponsored by Logitech mean nothing to you? Do you really think nothing big has changed in American politics in the past year?

    I won’t bother trying to convince you anymore because it’s clear you’ll never change your mind. Your faux concern “touch grass” bs is genuinely more annoying than the pro eugenics troll. At least that fucker had their eyes more open to how things actually are. You’re just a useful fool for fascist tools.

      Because thats not how evidence works, were not talking about Logitec were talking about American Eagle. If you want to make a big claim like “American Eagle is intentionally pushing Eugenics” then you need something to back it up other than vague statements about the political climate and a pun.

      Despite what you may feel my concern is genuine. Like i said ive been there. When you spend too much time in circles that talk about all the negstive things going on in the world all the time you get conditioned to think that bad stuff is everywhere and you start jumping at shadows, especially when other people are jumping at them too. Ive made my fair share of accusation that i looked back on and realised werent warrented, simply because i was in spaces that made me feel like the entire world was full of nothing but shitty people. And honestly its just really difficult living like that.

      Too much social media is never good for you and IMO one of the most difficult parts of the modern wolrd is setting heslthy boundaries with the internet and having the self dicipline to stick to it. Honestly even if you dont change your mind about this, which is totally within your right, i really do encourage you to try tasking yourself with taking a break from socials for a week or more, I really do think it will make you feel less stressed. :)
