The best lies contain some element of truth, for they need to be believable
Instagram...Today's tech industry & social media has exacerbated corporations' ability to brainwash the masses
We don't know if this is another marketing stunt/scam like recycling, sugar vs. fat, diamonds, bottled water, milk, etc.
Climate change might be true, but it is those who use it for personal gain that twist truths to their advantage. Think of Elon Musk, crypto, pro-choice... that use social media pervasively to shape the narrative.
Be very careful of these invisible forces that affect our behaviors unconsciously. Always search for truth, be a critical thinker.

- mgh2 5y agoWe don't know for sure, but the article seems to have some clues. > Green: But are there shared characteristics along lines of education? Do people share a certain progressive political outlook? > Kallman: They tend to be at least college-educated. And they tend to be, certainly, pro-choice. For the most part, they’re on the left of the political spectrum. They’re certainly, on the whole, younger. Our house parties have been not exclusively white, but they’re pretty white. Maybe a pro-choice political propaganda. Wild guess: Planned Parenthood? With marketing, everything is on sale.
