All consumers are being lied to and manipulated, that is the entire purpose of marketing. At some point, individual accountability has to be taken into consideration. You can't get by in life by just claiming to have been suckered every time.
- rektide 5y agobig big line between manipulated & being lied too, to me. i hope most marketters would not have so cavalierly group these in the same bucket, especially when the the lie is an existential threat to all known life. but i hope just lying alone is a fairly big no no for most marketters; i for one believe in a society with ethics. there's probably some laws regulating consumer disinformation too, icd wager; certainly i'd expect it to open up the liar to liability lawsuits. and it's not just consumers, everyone was bilked by these lying disinformationing Captain Planet grade villians. government policies were influenced & made based off research these folks paid to shape. the media told different stories. ultimately i actually agree: we all are accountable. one of those responsibilities is identifying the lying liars trying to set the world's pants afire. and stopping them from hurting the planet & society.
