What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
- BMc2020 4y agoPropaganda is real and you see it every day.
- WheelsAtLarge 4y agoPropaganda is real. It's called marketing by most people.
- BMc2020 4y agoThe goal is to make you think something not buy something.
- WheelsAtLarge 4y agoOk then what do you think all those Coca Cola ads are? At it's core, Coke is just sweet flavored water but in most people's minds it's much much more. All those ads have fundamentally changed the way people think about it. Sure it translates to sales but people don't think of Coke as just another cola drink. And that's just one example.
- BMc2020 4y agoJust making shit up isn't an example. It's an assertion.
- tharne 4y agoOur morals are driven much more by a desire to fit in and be liked by others than by a sincere search for truth.
- WheelsAtLarge 4y agoI give you a different view. Morals are driven by what is perceived as good for society as opposed to some fundamental truth. A perfect example is murder. We all know that it's never ok to kill someone unless it's for absolute self defence. But it's ok when it relates to war. You are even called a hero. The difference is related to the perceived good for society, not a fundamental truth.
