I tend to witness it like you describe too. I do not see people saying “oh, we were wrong, the pandemic wasn’t going to be over by Easter 2000 and it went on for years”… or really kind of admit that Fox News mislead them, or Alex Jones is a liar and they want to make sure that skills like his don’t keep influencing the next generation.
Why can’t people blame advertising for being fat… do you really need McDonald’s and Burger King reminding you all the time that they have food? At what point do you realize the influence that can be scientifically measured with advertising is real. What would the side-effects be of too powerful of advertising, Donald Trump? Obesity icon? If an advert does not work, they change technique, media outlet, agency, or they run it at a different time, they very much measure the increased sales. At what point do you look at your brain and go - oh, I can’t defend against weaponized snack food and soda. It’s engineered to make me crave it.
It’s a very personal experience. It really doesn’t take long to be exposed to something, maybe even a movie, through advertising instead of a friend actually recommending it to you personally based on experience.
why would you want to live knowing there are profiting manipulating you to purchase things you don’t really want and vote for people that don’t deserve it, etc. At what point do you stand up and realize that those people are organized and learning what other people will accept and using it on you? What kind of freedom is this, and why do you want everyone else to be treated this way too.
sigh.
