Classic psyop deflection strategy. Pander to the cultists, and those cultists will ignore and pretend the other stuff doesn't exist. Plus, their target demographic isn't known for their intelligence.

They pander to demographics that continually buy their products. Mostly to young people and blacks. When it comes to the latter, the sad thing is many younger Blacks will waste thousands of dollars on brands like Nike. I remember in HS the black kids always had the latest Jordans and would get like 5 pairs a year, always decked in some top gear. They are programmed by sports figures and adds like these to buy overpriced sneakers and probably waste up to low 4 figures on vanities like that.

Now think about what would the outlook for young blacks be if instead of their parents buying them these type of products, they would put that money in a college fund that's accretive and will compound multifold over a decade or a fund that would go towards a down payment on a house. Or shit, open up a Roth, and give that kid a small nest egg, the true and tried way of building wealth in this country. These consumer corporations are literally toxic for such demographics. Who the fuck cares about becoming a WNBA player, odds of a little black girl getting there are pretty much zero, encourage her to want to become a nurse or a scientist you fucking scumbags something that's actually achievable, owning 6 pairs of 150 dollar Nike's doesn't do shit for her future. Literally selling them some dumb lie about dynasties or self aggrandizement.

The Atlantic puts out a hit piece maligning the natural practice of mild psychedelic therapy -

If vulnerable patients are going to take powerful hallucinogens, they deserve better evidence.

Waterboys for big pharma, God forbid people actually become better on their own with ancient & natural therapies.

But they openly promote giving young children cross-sex hormones, puberty "blockers", and everything else... despite the lack of evidence.

Good.


I wouldn't even hate them, but the shoe quality has dropped too. Most of them have cardboard-level thickness and quality.

Adidas is the same but a hair better so far.

wow look at this. actblue is being investigated. actblue is a massive fund raising scam system for the DNC.
back when i first learned about it? BLM > actblue > DNC
BLM was/is a DNC operation and the DNC totally ripped off those people. people that donated to BLM, the money went to actblue and from there the DNC would divide it up. my memory is the biggest chunk went to bogus dudes campaign.
ActBlue Investigation Expands to 19 States
