And whimsical crockery

In 2020 Freakonomics did a dive into the effectiveness of adverts. Link below (transcripts too). There are sources listed and such. My tl;dr based on memory is that ads in general are not very cost effective for most companies. Ads are very cost effective for companies that sell ads though.

Full agree

The communist manifesto was written for a different historical moment but so much of it is still spot on.

I mean come on, it opens basically like “Everyone in the current status quo has already painted communism as their biggest most powerful enemy, may as well unite and make it become that.”

Feels pretty topical given that multiple countries are thinking about naming antifa, which isn’t an organization, a terrorist group.

Shoot, I’m too poor for this. I’ll have to tape up some ads on mine

Probably because zionists are working so hard to keep the two terms synonymous. That’s not a justificatory reason to continue to actively support a genocidal state politically.

Being shitty is much easier and takes much less effort so it prevails wherever people don’t collectively resist it.

Exactly what Charlie Kirk would want! More censorship!

Everyone google epstein every day (on regular google) and click all the news articles if you have time.

Depends on the context, but almost always a strawman imo.

Evil is simpler and easier to pull off than good (because you don’t have to value everyone in your equation), so “reasonable” compromises with evil compounded enough times leads to some pretty evil outcomes.

Why would I do this to me?!?!

Still remind them that they are being treated like idiots. I feel this may be a useful way to get through to them. No one likes being treated like an idiot. I think this is part of why many on the right are unwilling to let go of epstein. They’re being asked to ignore clear corruption and being told they’re stupid just for believing what is in front of them.

These guys really treat the right as idiots. Please gently remind any right-leaning acquaintances of this if you can. Remind them to use their eyes and ears.

How to know when you’re being manipulated for someone else’s ends 101. Elon Musk is no one’s friend.

Oh wow I thought that was a US thing

I demand satisfaction, good sir!

I agree let’s bring back dueling for politicians

I assumed so or my comment wouldn’t have made sense, not sure what you’re getting at

Indian food is really good in Britain

Crazy they’re fining customers as if it’s akin to buying drugs

Lots of print options too!
