so… second thought isn’t a communist according to whoever’s responsible for this?

the economist reveals their anti-landlord ideals by letting Vladimir Lenin live rent-free in their heads for 100 years

got an archive link for the asiatimes article?

ugh did you try staying awake during 4th grade history class 🙄 they taught the “pilgrims” how to grow corn, had a big feast, then politely stepped aside to make room for the new guys. we still dont know where they went…

not really, he’s very focused on the scientific details, i cant remember him talkimg about the political side at all.

here’s the original publication: meltingasphalt.com/ads-dont-work-that-way/

…i’m not sure what you’re getting at, maybe i didnt summarize properly. give the article a read and see if it makes sense to ya.

the article very clearly explains that. Give it a read, it’s not that long.

…but if you aren’t going to read it, the summary is that the way we think ads work, associating brands with positive emotions (termed “emotional inception” in this article), is bollocks. Instead, they rely on “cultural imprinting”, i.e. associating the brand with a kind of person or situation. For example, corona is the beer for relaxing on the beach, nike and gatorade are for athletes. So, if you want to relax with some homies, you drink corona. If you value athletic performance, you drink gatorade and wear nike shoes. Major exceptions apply, please just read the article.

supposedly, the many banned terms were quickly unbanned, but further reading would require being able to read Chinese. which i can’t.

for comrades braver than me, here’s br*tmonkey’s source list for the video: https://pastebin.com/qNQbXyUE

and the source for “letter N was banned” (from the guardian, notorious source of Unbiased™ reporting about china): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/28/china-bans-the-letter-n-internet-xi-jinping-extends-power

save yourself the braincells and dont bother learning anything about “breadtubers”. destiny is just another one of them, and you’re better off knowing nothing more than that.
