Is your purpose to complain with me about humanities foibles or are you arguing against the point that stupid slogans and adverts on busses are more effective at manipulating people?

The latter would be an interesting conversation for sure, the former? Sure i agree it sucks but that’s the way the world works right now. If it wasnt effective they’re wouldn’t be billions of dollars spent doing it.

My point is that people can be easily manipulated, a point you agree with. Taking it one step further, getting mad at millions of morons is useless! Useless to you i mean. It’s very useful to the people doing the manipulating. It is such a useful thing, such a useful trick, for those whose jobs are to manipulate public opinion, that countless dollars are spent doing so. Of course, if they could, they would want to separate a large class of people whose only power is their numbers, right? Wouldn’t that make sense? How, if they could, would they go about it?

Indeed, are you sure you haven’t been manipulated into misplacing your anger? Regardless, focus your ire at the ones who stand to gain by ripping your country and people apart.
