This so obviously xenophobic propaganda. As if we don't have our own homegrown shitheels who will abuse this FAR AND AWAY more than the foreigners. This is direct gift to the AMERICAN oligarchs specifically. That is no better for you, the peasant, but it is not foreigners coming here to ruin shit. We are perfectly capable and willing to do it to ourselves it seems.

    xenophobic propaganda

    It has nothing to do with xenophobia. You're right, obviously this will benefit all billionaires, especially those under U.S. jurisdiction. But, the reason for calling out Mexican cartels and Russian oligarchs is to never imply that U.S. billionaires are Bad People. It's the same reason they're the only ones who are ever mentioned in this context, to misdirect public ire.

    So you're telling me that messaging can affect people. Interesting, I thought people could just opt out by wanting to real hard! /s

    Yes, contradictions found in our worldview can leave us speechless. Have you tried simply not being bored though? You can just opt out.

    You are either truly dumb, or intentionally misrepresenting and misunderstanding my earlier points. I'm not debating a dullard or liar.

    Wow seems like you're a real supercilious, bitter asshole. Comment history confirms. Nobody needs to read anything else from you: suggest downvote and block.

    You aren't wrong. I am a bitter asshole. The world is dying and there's nothing to be done about it, except get revenge on those who murdered it before we all shortly die.

    I'm really uninterested in how people perceived me.

    You don't have to be so angry that you claimed to be immune to a specific type of propaganda (what ads are) and then a few hours later claim to be worried about propaganda. Everyone believes contradictory things, perhaps just not this obvious of one.
