Ok I was 100% on message with this whole piece, right until the last panel. Tell me, how exactly does At&T, Taco Bell, Sony, or McDonald’s corporation owe me anything?
I get it that advertisers are a pain in the ass, and yes they are trying to make you feel bad so that you ‘ll spend your money on their product so that you can feel better about yourself. I got that. It’s complete bullshit at the amount of things advertisers get away with legally.
Again though, what do those companies owe me? If I don’t like their message or product, I let them know it by purchasing a similar product or service at their competitor, it’s called a free market economy. You don’t like McDonald’s advertising, show them by eating your next fast food meal at Burger King or Carl’s Jr. At&T pissing you off? Cancel your plan and sign up with Sprint. That jackass manager at Firestone screwed up the alignment on your Toyota Corolla? Fuck him! Get your next tire rotation at Goodyear.
See the point? You don’t like an advertiser / brand / company? Vote with your wallet. These companies don’t owe you a damn thing, and you in return don’t owe them your patronage. Guess what? If they piss off enough people, that company (minus any government bailouts) will either change their staff / product / service to better meet the needs of their customers, or they will go out of business.
Great pic, right until the last panel. Liberal propaganda. I’m surprised that there was not another panel telling the reader to go camp out in some park to protest the “corporate machine”. Idiots.
“You don’t like McDonald’s advertising, show them by eating your next fast food meal at Burger King or Carl’s Jr. At&T pissing you off?”
And you’ll be still dealing with global corps. “Congratulations” on your “free market”.
Tell me this, genius, what country has communism (the polar opposite of free market) worked? It hasn’t. Free market definitely has drawbacks, however, it is still the best system of doing any form of business that man has come up with. How do we know this? Because countries who have true free market economies have the highest GDP, and their citizens have the highest standards of living.
Do you honestly think you would be better off in Russia? How about in China? Anywhere in the middle east? South America? No wait. All of those people are coming to the U.S. because of the totalitarian governments of those countries control the economies, and attempt to micro manage the lives of their citizens. Something you retarded liberals keep trying to do here. I challenge you to ask anyone who has immigrated to the U.S. from one of those oppressive countries why they came here, and what did they hope to get away from.
Free enterprise and minimal government is exactly what our founding fathers envisioned, and it worked out spectacularly for the last 200+ years. You liberal fucks should all take a field trip to one of the oppressive countries and see how well anything other than free market is working out.
You’re the fucking genius prattling about “free market”, and showing other global corporations, as a proof of that “freedom”. And your “genius” doesn’t stop there:
– you “compare” political\government system, with market system,
– next, with your 0-1 “logic”, you assume that if it isn’t free market it must be central planned (even if you don’t know that phrase), and follow with Straw Man argument,
– the GDP argument is flawed, as any other statistic method, and unfortunately for you, it’s another “shot in the foot” – China is third (second if you don’t count UE).
So by your “logic”, China has truer free market economy than France, Germany or Switzerland,
– as for emigration, by your “logic”, France is less democratic than Russia, because Gérard Depardieu handed over his France passport\citizenship, and took Russian one.
How dense are you ? Neutron star ?
As for founding fathers, and all that “Manifested Destiny” crap – I don’t fucking care. Global Corps means the whole globe, not just ‘murica.
And since you keep to give out “good advice”, here’s one for you:
pull your head out of your ass, stop listening to propaganda, and learn some basic logic, facts.
“and attempt to micro manage the lives of their citizens. Something you retarded liberals keep trying to do here”
Yeah, damn liberals championing the recreational drug prohibition and trying to stop people from getting abortions. Those liberals should stop trying to micromanage people’s lives.
In case you missed my point: liberalism inherently values civil liberties. People in the US tend to use ‘liberal’ or ‘conservative’ when they mean Democrat or Republican, but both of those parties have agendas that don’t line up that way.
AdBlockPlus, DoNotCall.gov, spam filters, and DVR fast-forwarding offer minimal effort methods to reclaim your attention, your time, your life.
Aww, the poor little libtard couldn’t dispute me on facts, and instantly goes to the “strawman” logic argument. Tell me, bitch, how does the corporations owe any of us anything?
Wait, they don’t. The whole point of the original picture is complete liberal trash based on the entitlement mentality as espoused by liberal trash, college professors. Congratulations on showing all of us that you are were a good little student who soaked in every bit of that brainwashing you were fed. Well Done!
I so wish you, and all of your commie ilk would just fucking leave and go to your communist paradise in the people’s republic, cuba, or the soon to be reunited U.S.S.R. and then you can write us back in the free world and tell us how great it is.
Epic argument though. You really hurt me, cunt. Now run off and wash the sand out of your vagina before it gets infected.
