    The cognitive dissonance with advertisers is crazy. They don’t see it as perpetuating late stage capitalism and wasteful consumerism. They turn a blind eye to the fact that the reason people are so anxious and depressed is because of the constant badgering that you should want more and more objects in your life instead of just leaving us all the fuck alone.

    Fuck advertisers.

      If the purge happened IRL and there were no laws for a while, I wouldn’t go around causing mayhem or hurting people, but there wouldn’t be any billboards left in my neighborhood by morning. Fuck advertisers and doubly fuck the ones that don’t even provide an actual service. Ads in exchange for online services are annoying as fuck, but ads you don’t even consent to should be illegal.
