only if it’s actually banned and not allowing loopholes for “the government” and “public good”
Comment on How do we stop people from defending billionares and trillion dollar companies?

I sound like a broken record but, BAN ADVERTISING. Along with all the pretty well established secondary bad effects of advertising, the most basic direct effect of it is lying to people. If people weren’t deluged daily with lies about how they should think of this or that company, they wouldn’t be so readily deluded into thinking of a company like a person with a positive effect on their world.

im. ok with the government advertising there’s an election coming up on date x, or be sure to get your vaccination etc but any political party advertising , their party policy platform can be on the government website but all commercial advertising should be banned.

But this is kind of circular logic. We need to convince people to stop defending trillionaires in order to be able to ban advertising or make any meaningful change at all.

No, we just have to outnumber or overpower the fools who defend them. We don’t need 100% agreement, just enough to get a ban in place.
