The internet is a cesspool of misinformation, and the biggest blue-chip brands and their ad agencies are the ones funding it—by stuffing money into a Rube Goldberg machine no one really understands.

    How Advertising Propaganda Broke the World

    Fixed that for you, Wired. They’re the same fucking thing. One is just somehow legal for companies to spew lies about their products and services.

    Advertising in the modern world is nothing but propaganda for corporations. Same with Public Relations. If this wasn’t the case, why the fuck would any corporation need a “Fusion Intelligence Center” that specifically targeted scientists and journalists who were simply producing information that made the company look bad?

      That’s a really weird thing to get angry over. Advertising as a term is much better at conveying what they wanted to.
