You mean the thugs hired by 50501?

I know Arturo, and if you did any sort of due diligence, you’d know he’s a hardcore leftist.

If you think Arturo was a ‘conservative traitor’, I think you have more problems with simply accepting what our right wing media apparatus chooses to push.

I know Arturo, he was there to support the protests. He was NOT going to do a mass shooting, as he has taken his gun to at least one other protest with no incident.

And trans people aren’t treated as equal and they are constantly attacked by their fellow citizens.

Oh wait that’s America.

I don’t know much about Iran, but do they have legalized slavery? Because America does.

I’m trying to understand your point, but I’m a little lost here.

Do you mean the way the public reacted to their ad?

Or the way they capitulated to that reaction?

I mean: Yes racism and sexism are pervasive in our society, but using Ben and Jerry’s (operating under the same racism/sexism) as an example; they do heavy marketing tactics toward LGBTQ but they are also an ally.

Does them utilizing that make them bad?

Can something be good and also a marketing tactic?

Even if this is true, I don’t think they’re going to find the number of votes to change any outcome. Didn’t Trump win by like 3 million votes? Maybe this could have flipped an electoral college vote, but would that have even mattered?

If they are using the data that has been perpetuating this for a while now, they don’t have a single source for the percentage given.

It does say NEW STUDY though, so I could be wrong.

I recently watched a YouTube video about this exact percentage, I’ll try to find it and link it.

What I found crazy was that, he knew exactly what he was doing. He’s intelligent enough that he can understand all the injustices in our society and how people are taken advantage of, only to consider his complete capitulation to it as ‘amoral’.

He actively decided to throw his arms up in apathy, but he doesn’t see it as a moral choice.

Wild.

Yeah, the archive link. The conversation about ‘being part of the hydra’, specifically. Sorry if I misunderstood your intention.

That is one of the most interesting threads I’ve ever read. What the fuck.

I think it’s also good to remember that, creators who bake in their sponsorships are USUALLY paid upfront for the space.

Meaning, just skip that shit if it’s not for you. They already got the money.

At least, this is how I have come to understand sponsorships.
