ugh did you try staying awake during 4th grade history class 🙄 they taught the "pilgrims" how to grow corn, had a big feast, then politely stepped aside to make room for the new guys. we still dont know where they went...
not really, he's very focused on the scientific details, i cant remember him talkimg about the political side at all.
you dont own anything under socialism? thats crazy. let me check the list of countries by home ownership rate rq
here's the original publication: meltingasphalt.com/ads-dont-work-that-way/
…i'm not sure what you're getting at, maybe i didnt summarize properly. give the article a read and see if it makes sense to ya.
the article very clearly explains that. Give it a read, it's not that long.
…but if you aren't going to read it, the summary is that the way we think ads work, associating brands with positive emotions (termed "emotional inception" in this article), is bollocks. Instead, they rely on "cultural imprinting", i.e. associating the brand with a kind of person or situation. For example, corona is the beer for relaxing on the beach, nike and gatorade are for athletes. So, if you want to relax with some homies, you drink corona. If you value athletic performance, you drink gatorade and wear nike shoes. Major exceptions apply, please just read the article.
i had a long reply that i accidentally deleted but conveniently this book about Stalin just came out that should give you an infinitely more nuanced "history and critique" of Stalin than the average westerner could imagine exists.
TL;DR Stalin is a complicated figure, just like everyone else. The cartoon villain picture of Stalin that western propagandists have been building for almost a full century now isn't real, no one likes the "eastern hitler" caricature that doesn't exist. We like Josif Stalin, the real person who existed, did great things, did bad things. a lot of what you think you know is simply false, and to understand why we "like" Stalin, you have to learn who Stalin really was, and find out what you think you know about him, the Soviet Union, and communism as a whole, that is just plain wrong.
sorry about the downvotes and dunking that are going to come to you, some folks around here have trouble distinguishing genuine questions and bad faith trolls.
those links don't work. also i noticed i follow @prolewiki@matapacos.dog perfectly fine, though a lot of the acct's follows/followers dont show up from kolektiva. are you sure it's still defederated?
