As if advertisement wasn't already the most insidious part of everyday life, now they're also laughing at us and the capitalist hellscape they've put us in.
Not really capitalism if they got the government's economic and political support against competitors. I'd really call it Neomercantilism more than anything
...............thats literally what capitalism always does. manipulate the government for economic and political support. Thats like capitalism 101.

They meant Citizens United v. FEC, a supreme court case that allowed much more election advertising.
My previous comment to someone who answered the same thing applies here too
No, this shit comes from capitalism, which got corrupted by direct government intervention in the economy for some "muh we gotta save them" bs
The government should make the rules, not play the game
