    You buy what you want.

    You buy what you can afford.

    Most folk do.. if you allow yourself to be influenced by broken social media, it shows in your posts. Your problem.

    Only brokenbrained millenials are influenced by shite media.

    Nope. Millennials are bad but nowhere near as bad as the zoomers. That said, plenty of MAGA boomer retards buy into the facebook ruzzian propaganda that says the orange moron and pootin are good and western democracy bad. Shite media as you put it, rightly called "social media" has its hooks deep in all generations and that is a fact.

    None of this changes the reality that skiddy is a complete and absolute fucking moron.

    You don't get it do you. This has sweet fuck all nothing to do with social media or millenials. Or what you can buy or afford. What in the living fuck are you talking about?

    Global corporations removed all black and any persons of colour from their branding. And left the white people. To appease political correctness.

    You are a millennial.

    The ads are driven by shite social media. You suck it all up.

    Are you suggesting that you are capable of ignoring media bullshit and PC? Apparently not!

    Millennials will never understand it. Are you black?

    They might be brands where you live. In the real world, for those who understand, brands are something given to you millennials by shit social media in the form of advertisements. You know about that because your hurt locker was invented by them.
    Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned.

    The Quaker oats man has been around since 1877 and Uncle Ben's was the black man since 1946. And the same goes for the rest of them. You are completely off your rocker again and you don't get nearly the amount of abuse that you deserve on this site for your ignorance and idiocy.

    BRANDS THAT MIGHT NEED TO CHANGE DUE TO GENDER BIAS [AND RACE BIAS]

    Last year, Ongig’s CEO Rob Kelly observed that many companies might also need to change their corporate brand name due to masculine bias in a blog last year, Will “Masculine” Companies Need to Change their Name?.


    Mottos might need to get changed too.
    The Department of Veterans Affairs motto has been accused of being”exclusionary” and “outdated.”
    That motto quotes President Abraham Lincoln’s second inaugural address in 1865:
    “To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan.”
    It is still to be determined if the companies/organizations above will change their words. If the momentum keeps building, we will see more and more organizations alleged to have biased brands or mascots or mottos changing those names.
    We will be sure to list them here as they do!

    IS THE WORD “PLANTATION” RACIST?

    Outside of gender bias in brands, there are some brands that use the word “plantation” in their name. Many people find it racist or offensive because of the link to times of slavery.
    The board of the Hilton Head Plantation in South Carolina doesn’t think it is offensive based on their recent statement:
    “The Board realizes that many individuals are passionate about their feelings on both sides of this issue. Many comments were received from property owners; however, one property owner’s suggestion truly resonated with the Board. The property owner wrote in part, “We believe that the associated history is to be learned from —not to be deleted or rewritten….We also appreciate other peoples perceived sensitivities to the past unfairness or injustices.”
    On the flip side, a basketball coach from Creighton recently apologized for telling his team:
    “Guys, we got to stick together, We need both feet in. I need everybody to stay on the plantation. I can’t have anybody leave the plantation”
    Coach Greg McDermott apologized immediately after realizing the inappropriate analogy with racist ties.

    It matters not how long the brands have been around! You are still susceptible to having your beliefs challenged on a daily basis.
    Because you demonstrate all the flaws of a millennial, you are more likely to be influenced by contemporary media bollocks.
    Your mind is infested with what the media tells you. You have no opinions of your own, just those shaped by your susceptibility.
    In terms you might understand: You are a woke snowflake. Good luck with that.

    P.S. Have you ever wondered why you are the only one who challenges my statements?

    Yep and your generation can be thanked for it. Millennial generation is the largest population currently and most all of you feel entitled and are spoiled so you have nothing else to do but complain about pointless nonsense.

    But to your point, it is getting worse. The US is potentially looking at another term of Trumptard.

    But you do give a fuck about it. You mention it often and you have just reminded us that you are really glad that you "live in laidback, non-PC, non-woke Laos".
