Coinbase, famously a "no politics" company in 2020, sponsors a military parade
- InTheBarn 1y agoAnd so, my fellow Americans: ask what your country can do for you — ask how you can monetize your country.
- timeon 1y agoOne has to appreciate organizers how well they can capture zeitgeist. Even for military parade where there is no need for ads they are reflecting on current state of 'content consuming'. Reminding us that every spectacle and information is there to provide real estate for commercials.
- flooow 1y agoI thought it was very funny that a military parade has sponsors. But there is no hypocrisy here, from Coinbase's point of view. They would argue that "A military parade isn't political, it's just patriotic!" Point is, companies (and individuals) that claim to have 'no politics' also don't understand what politics is.
- tomlockwood 1y agoAbsolutely agree, it's incredible. Being political is when someone says something I don't like, of course!
- xboxnolifes 1y agoYou wouldn't even have to argue it's patriotic. One could make the case that sponsoring this parade was the best use of marketing funds.
- antibull 1y agoThe military parade isn't political. It's been planned since Biden was president. It's the 250th anniversary. Period.
- pacomerh 1y agoOh silly, a military parade is political. A display of military strength, military parades demonstrate national power, and supports a particular leader or political agenda.
