I swear, people on the comm are deeply uncurious and in denial about basic facts. The ad was unquestionably promoting eugenics in a silly tongue and cheek way 🤪. We live in a fascist state where people and companies feel more bold in coming out of the closet as evil; how is it so hard to believe that they’d run an ad like that?

I doubt it’s just this comm though. Americans in general are as in denial about the state of things as the 1930s Germans before them. Things are more outrageous than they feel comfortable with, so to maintain their view of a just world, they just become further detached from reality. It’s easier to think the ground under you is stable than scramble to deal with the quicksand.

      A maga enthusiast made an ad about her great blue-eye genes that doubled as a jeans ad.

      There’s different versions of the ad that just talk about her genes suggesting she’s attractive. Some people saw the latter and didn’t see the former, so they think people are talking about the latter rather than the former.

      None of this addresses the Epstein files being kept hidden.

      A person made an AD that was based off a poor taste pun. Then a bunch of political activists doxxed the actress’s voter registration information and comandeered the conversation making it a right/left thing. Then Trump then added fuel to the fire, which enabled everyone to double down on forcing an advertisement made in poor taste to inflate into psyop political conspiracy mania.

      A denim ad where blonde hair blue eyed Sydney Sweeney says this while text reading “she has good jeans” flashes on screen. It’s a huge dog whistle playing on eugenic ideas for laughs, allowing the ignorant and fascist alike to dismiss it as just a joke (which fascists like couch fucker were more than happy to do)
