    When you start out with such a massively misleading statement like:

    Industry is responsible for more than 20% of all emissions

    When industry is literally stuff like cars, industrial equipment, oil production, basically all chemical production, and so on and so forth.

    Cheap disposable plastic mall trinkets are not a major industrial sector. The vast majority of industrial spend is stuff that actually improves people’s lives.

    If you’re going to start criticizing “products” then again you’re talking about stuff that for the most part people just want. And stuff for the most part that people would want regardless of advertisements.

    This:

    You have never been under your own motivation

    Is what I’m talking about when I say it’s conspiracy thinking.

    Maybe.

    Just maybe.

    People are able to think for themselves.

    It’s extra hilarious that you link a study on subliminal messaging, which is one of the fields in psychology that have been embroiled in reproducibility issues and fraud.

        "I believe this only underscores my point

        I was caught peddling bunk folk psychology to peddle my conspiracy theory about we are all getting manipulated to serve the evil overlords and that only makes my point stronger

        You didn’t engage with the study itself.

        I don’t engage with flat earth bullshit or other conspiracy theories either. I engage with things that are worth engaging with. An Amazon pundit piece peddling crap about your free will being taken away subliminal messages goes into the instant trash with the other garbage.
