    There’s something extra sinister about advertising these days. Can’t decide if it’s the context of the greater world or something different about the ads themselves.

      I feel like advertising companies have realized that one day they will be able to get away with literal genocide IF and ONLY IF it makes them a profit . And I mean like actual genocide…Like the Bosnian Genocide …and like whats happening in Palesrine right now. Hecl, there are companies in dubai that are making a killing by slaughtering Sudanese people and the uae government aint doing shit but turning a blind eye… If by you telling these companies your secrets or your idea for a machine makes it easier for them to kill you and your family AND for them to make a profit? I actially see the government of MANY regions allowing them to do all those things … eventually …

      Thats what makes them sinister in my opinion. Im not expert oof course… but…
