Ok I can explain this to you, because unlike this bunch of losers I’ve worked in marketing. What we market to you is this: An identity you want > A product > A sale Doesn’t matter if it’s a teapot or a banking app. That’s what you do with an ad. Does it make you feel smart? Prestigious? In on the joke? Cool? Safe? That’s how advertisers think. If I say “This hat is cool, and good!” that’s a 2/10 ad. If I say “This hat is the hat you wear on holiday this year when the warm Italian sun floods the vineyards” that’s already put the hat on your head and a luxury holiday. Now, most people do not like racism. I know that’ll shock you because of Elon’s whack algorithm, but most people identify as “not a racist”. Easiest way to say to someone, look how open minded we are, and you are just like us? Diversity in an ad. It’s just sales. You’re just dumb so you see an “agenda”.

For anyone who still hasn't grasped why nuclear power plants are the stupidest idea imaginable: New nuclear power plants cost up to 49 cents per kilowatt-hour in Europe. Solar power costs between 3 and 6 cents. Thats 16 times more expensive electricity For those now dreaming of small power plants (SMR): SMRs produce five to 30 times more nuclear waste than large reactors, and nuclear waste is a massive cost driver. Professor Dr. Lesch calls the idea of ​​using old nuclear waste as fuel "a wonderful fairy tale that has yet to come true anywhere in the world." For all now claiming storage is no cost driver take a look what Germany had to pay and all other countries with nuclear energy generation must pay for decommissioning and storing nuclear facilities and waste in the future:

I also wasn’t told that North African Arabs took >1 Million Europeans as slaves as well as many more Sub Saharan Africans. They started around 600 years before Europe and took more Africans as slaves than Europe. I also wasn’t told that they castrated the male Africans who were considered to be in “sensitive” roles. Funny that these North Africans aren’t being demanded to pay reparations to their sub Saharan brethren.

@ECOWARRIORSS “Native Americans” came from Asia over the land bridge into what is now Alaska and spread south. They were the first colonisers, Australian Aborigines and NZ Māoris same story, came from elsewhere. Everyone was nomadic out of necessity

It was common practice in the 1970’s, 80’s and even the early 90’s to wash your windshield when you stopped for gas every week. Bugs galore covered the windshield and front grill on your vehicle. That’s not the case anymore. It’s like the bugs have simply disappeared. No bees, no gnats, no flys or moths. Our skies are being poisoned and killing off the insects. When was the last time you saw snail trails going across the concrete walkway after a heavy rain? When was the last time you saw earthworms wiggling across your driveway after a nice rainstorm? Our skies are being poisoned and contaminating the earths soil and killing them. Eczema and psoriasis are also becoming the norm.

@MarioNawfal The main navigation route through Hormuz is in Omani waters. There is no need to touch Iranian waters unless you are heading for an Iranian Port. I have passed through Hormuz many times

Why am I referenced as an African-American? I hate that! My ancestors go back well over 200 years in this country. That's much longer than most other Americans. Do we call them British or Irish Americans? The term is dumb and I'm not a fan of it. I’m American!

Here’s Rory Stewart talking a lot of sense about the Iran war: “We need to get out immediately. Every day this continues, it gets closer to a global economic meltdown and closer to a much bigger conflict and the beginnings of a third world war.”

@doctormalibu Have you forgotten that Iran control Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis? That Iran was behind October 7th? That their stated aim is the obliteration of Israel and Jews?

Go FUCK your self. You warmongering cunt. Have you forgotten that Israel and America attacked Iran without warning? TWICE. Have you forgotten the Genocide of a Hundred thousand innocent Palestinian men women and children? I hope they level Israel. It would be Hod’s justice. Blood is on your hands.

I want to say that as a UK citizen I do not find the Eid festivities and public prayer in any way disturbing. I find any suggestion that they are disturbing to be very offensive and un-British.

Thomas Sowell: ”If you’re going to have reparations for slavery, it’s going to be the greatest transfer of wealth back and forth, because the number of Whites who were enslaved in North Africa by the Barbary Pirates exceeded the number of Africans enslaved in the United States.”
