IDK who Cambridge Analytics is, but since the 1950s the US advertising industry started using military techniques to induce feelings of inadequacy, isolation and hopelessness in viewers, offering products as cures. People want to blame the epidemic of depression on their chosen modern circumstance du jour, but it really comes from a lifetime of conditioning.

    Cambridge is like combining pysop and public relations along with a huge amount of capital and making a globalized corporate structure to spy on every human in the world. Then using that information to manipulate people's perception for cash and power.

    Just perfectly normal stuff like that.
