downs syndrome is the latest thing you cant have an ad without a downs syndrome in it.other/alternative media formats exist
eg black folks are very popular in advertising currently as if the agencies running capitalism’s pr engines have had to open the valve upon realising their survival depends on some form of pc representation, even if such actions only change the lot of black actors jobbing for advertising gigs
where does advertising situate itself in media? its funding underpins masses of it, so, buy the world a coke just do it domino-ho-hoes mmmm Danone (or something)
Advertising agencies decry throttle on actor supply from 90% Downs abortion rate.downs syndrome is the latest thing you cant have an ad without a downs syndrome in it.
What are some of the rabbit holes people seem to go down?every now and then i come across someone in real life who starts talking and its obvious that they've gone down some kind of internet rabbit hole, spent too long with some podcaster or another in their earbuds, got locked into a particular subreddit, latched onto a powerful idea or worldview. i've done it myself obviously a few times. i think it reveals a sort of lack or a kind of sadness. some libidinal need that the ideas are filling. one thing that does seem quite empowering for loads of people is the discovery that some of the things they are experiencing on a day to day basis are i) shared by other people and / or ii) not their fault, ie are some kind of 'structural' force that they are subject to. for me reading k punk on the wounds of class helped me understand a lot and was genuinely helpful. i see a lot of women benefiting from a similar thing when feminism dawns on them. it seems like a clear parallel. but it comes from a hurt place. and then of course one thing that absolutely everyone is doing is going overboard into these realizations and having their wounds soothed by them at the expense of a less self-centered worldview
Well a canonical example is the antivaxx movement. I've seen it destroy some of the finest minds of my generation.What are some of the rabbit holes people seem to go down?

my kid brother and oldest mate can talk for fuckin hours about fuckin CARP
@DLaurent I understand the institution and Mick Harris must be fairly close but the gear? What’s going on with anglers and requiring so much gear? Gear mag, gear YT channels, river specific sources, or if they fuck off near Skegness all the tide times etc
I know one useful term - paternoster

with regard to taking measures such as quarantine and seeking medical treatment, this is indicated by the teachings and practice of our Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), as he instructed us to seek medical treatment, and highlighted the importance of taking precautions against infection; he instructed us not to put sick camels with healthy camels, and not to travel to a land where a plague is occurring.
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Seek medical treatment, for Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has not created any disease but He has also created a remedy for it, except for one disease: old age.” narrated by Ahmad (17726) and the authors of as-Sunan, Abu Dawood (3855), at-Tirmidhi (2038), and Ibn Maajah (3436). Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever eats seven ‘ajwah dates in the morning, will not be harmed by any poison or witchcraft that day.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5769) and Muslim (2057).
Al-Bukhaari (5771) and Muslim (2221) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “No sick camel should be put with a healthy one.”
And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “If you hear of the plague in some land, do not enter it, and if it occurs in a land where you are, do not leave it.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5728) and Muslim (2218).
I like this but the focus on the body is misdirection, intended to occlude the fact that we are all immortal spirits connected to the overmind, as any wise man know.Mind itself is not what Moloch's interested in, it wants the bodies. That's why those materialistic explanations - no matter how kooky - are at least pointing in the right direction. I'm not qualified to untangle the mind-body relation, but that's not even important in this case.
What is important is the fact that any kind of propoganda will eventually take hold of the body, which is the real aim, because no one's interested in our puny minds otherwise the mechanisms of control would have never moved beyond rhetoric.
In its current form it probably starts with Jane Fond doing aerobics, which also nicley coincides with mass adaption of VHS. The Cult of Health. People spending their lives running treadmill. Anorexia. Laxatives.
The trans issue is just a different expression of the same principle - hijacking of the body. Right wingers have their own versions of this, of course. Doing deadlifts until their guts fall out through their ass or something like that.
But you could go on and on - snapchat filter dysmorphia, plastic surgery disasters, body positivity (cult of fatness basically), facial tattoos or whatever. What is the unifying principle is that it has to take hold of your body, so the question is why no to do it directly when (and if) possible?
... a bulwark against subliminal or other messaging is to develop a strong sense of self...
absolutely anything obviously. there are small ones and big ones. specific things that come to mind: someone i know talking about how they want a higher salary so that they can spend it on supplements; some dude i was on a new years day walk with suddenly going on about the failures of socialism in Venezuela; feminist talking points erupting into conversations out of nowhere; my otherwise normal mate who went on a men's rights training thing in the woods; digital nomads; a mate of a mate who had an ultimately terminal illness and refused any non-homeopathic treatment; my brother somehow starting to talk about how modern architecture is rubbish and how classical buildings are better; my own frequent interjections for a few years about class politics and inequality.What are some of the rabbit holes people seem to go down?
They're carping on and you're floundering.tons more

From a visual stress perspective this is objectively true: the newer the architecture the less natural its forms and so the harder the brain has to work.my brother somehow starting to talk about how modern architecture is rubbish and how classical buildings are better
