My intention wasn’t to dismiss your argument. I think having to experience advertising in each corner of existence is the farthest dystopian we’ve come. I moreso meant that the entire system is broken, perhaps humanity is. I feel like today if I pick a group of 10 random people, 9 of them would be willing to step on their fellow humans if it meant they could get ahead. And that seems to be the cornerstone of not only capitalism, but the hyper-capitalism we see today. We’ve really reached a peak of “fuck everyone else I’ll get my own” and I hate it. So I mean that to a franchise owner struggling against a multinational trillion dollar fuel conglomerate, yes it’s a no brainer. They take the pittances just as they fuck over their employees who also take the pittances, it’s shit all the way down
