I often wonder if we are in a simulation.

I think its possible because I only know what my own two eyes can see.

Everything else can be
faked pretty easily.

This steak I am eating seems real atleast.

Um...

In fascism, the state allows private ownership of businesses but directs them in what they should be doing. In fascism, the state allies with agreeable businesses and gives them subsidies and favorable contracts with protections while it forces non-compliant companies out of the market.

This is exactly what these people want. The just want the fascism to serve their goals.

Apologies in advance for this distraction from the thread.

This is what an America of 100 million is like? Really. The original advertisement was from 1978 (when the US population was about 223 million). If they wanted to see the US with a population of 100 million, they'd have to go back to 1915. And in 1915 the Gillette safety razor looked like this:

When I started shaving in the '80s, my first razor was pretty much the same as that. The only significant difference is that it might have used two disposable blades, instead of just one. (It's been a while, so I don't quite remember.)

Now ... where's my Aryan Cheerios?

When I last shaved in the '90's, my last razor was like that. One blade.

Effective advertising caters to the social and cultural sensibilities of its target audience.

Today I learned that conservatives, enamored as they are of traditional values and mores, find great nostalgic appeal in older advertisements.

What a brilliant insight! Whoodathunkit?

Sadly, though, this apparently also means they're all really just a bunch of "Sieg Heil!"-ing, Cheerios-munching goose-steppers - because corporate advertising is a harbinger of fascism.

I wonder what Starbucks-drinking - or rather, refusing-to-drink-Starbucks-until-baristas-are-unionized - might be a harbinger of?

The 100 million number is a reference to something that Trump supposedly said about prominent White House fascist Stephen Miller: "Mr. Trump said that if it was up to Mr. Miller there would be only 100 million people in this country, and they would all look like Mr. Miller."


That concept is very appealing to a certain type of person.

I collect vintage advertisements (scans). They give me hope of something that was once-dreamed-of, and could be dreamed-of again one day.

Where's my SS Death's Head pin?

American companies used to manufacture art -- this is what real capitalism looks like, we've forgotten:
