Look, all I’m saying is what you’re expressing now is fucking textbook, dude. There is no way you have a complete list of every brand that has ever pissed you off. Heightened emotional arousal makes you more suggestible. Not less. As long you’re human, that’s how it works. And understanding that, understanding that you are not immune to propaganda, is the first step in fighting back. Not violent fantasies, or visions of revolution, not by “if only everyone else would…” Not by getting pissed off, even though they’re infuriating. By avoiding them when you can, and trying not to react when you do see them.
Edit: On a reread my tone here sucks. My apologies. Clearly I need to take my own advice about not getting pissed off about stuff a screen puts in my face. I stand by what I said, not by how I said it. I hope you have a good night.






They could replace it with an area that has a bunch of different modes of transit and gives you a scavenger hunt of bus stops as a goal, maybe with flavor of the week interactive futurism/science exhibits at each one they have to write down a fact about. It could handle thousands of guests, and have infinite replayability. Collect all the badges. Kids would love it, parents would see it as STEM enrichment, and everyone would secretly be learning how to read timetables and routemaps. Then again I have an agenda so of course I would like them to build world’s biggest model trainset in order to indoctrinate the youth
