I keep seeing casual mentions of "positive experiences" with fascist companies these days. This hasnt happened before. New influx of people or paid advertising?

    This is the craziest thing I’ve read since I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

    Purchased from Waterstones, Deansgate Manchester.

    This is not an ad.

    Go personal all you want. I suggest you go join demonstrations against this shitfest. Or is that not real in your world?

    What does any of that even mean? Are you okay?

    It could be nostalgia to the days those services where not overly fascist and still seeking to cater towards the end user instead of only making money for the shareholders.

    At least that's what this comment feels like.

    What's fascinating is how you turned "I bought this show a while back" into a political argument.

    I'd argue a majority of the people on this fringe platform understand the dangers you name, but not everyone wants it to be the only thing they ever discuss.

    Not really sure how your advice is applicable here.

    People having a good time discussing things should "move on" when someone randomly turns the conversation into "you're supporting fascist corporations"? Why doesn't that person just move on to someone who wants to hear it?

    I try not to mention brands explicitly, but plenty of people seem to do that. I think a big issue is that brands have become verbs. People don't search for information, they google it. They don't buy things, they prime them. They don't watch generic TV they watch Netflix. I have a family member that calls all sneakers Nikes. I think branding has become "better" and marketers are making their brands an important part of the activity itself. It might just be a passive culture shift due to this difference.

    Can someone with more patience than either of us please grab 10,000 social media posts from a year ago and 10,000 posts from this week, and run them through a lightweight LLM to flag up how often it's happened?
