I was invited in to a local Christian college to address a marketing class. I'm a marketing consultant and at the time owned an agency.
I open up with the moral dilemma for the Christian marketer: if humans bear God's image, have intrinsic worth, and are an end—not a means to an end—how do we justify manipulating them to our ends? How do we reconcile what marketers do with God and our faith?
I got the stink eye from the proff and bewilderment from the students.

@mrmcmayhem Guilty until proven innocent.

we've hit full on puritanical level witch hunt bs here. where anything the left doesn't like they shriek either nazi or rapist. this is dangerous, because as we all recall, mofos get eaten by wolves when they shout loudly and falsely.
abuse of women isn't ok ever, but abuse of a system that by default currently coddles women, as if they're too weak to defend themselves, sexist no?, but coddles them as if they're infallible creatures, that's not equality, that privilege

Imagine wanting a government big enough to fight "big business" and not understanding that a big government is what makes big businesses dangerous.

Venezuela’s Maduro Secures $5bn Chinese Loan & Joins Beijing’s New Silk Road Initiative
Maduro also claimed that the Chinese government and banks are fully behind the series of economic reforms recently introduced under his post-electoral “Program of Economic Recuperation, Growth, and Prosperity.”
For his part, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang explained that his nation is looking to help Venezuela achieve economic stability.

@SirBemrose I also wonder if the reason is their thinking defies logic/common sense. So, a blanket policy is next to impossible, because there's no way to articulate the ever-growing list of infractions and sins, unlike: love your neighbor as your self.
Thus, rather than adhere to something that is sensible, they have to enumerate every variation of transgression, like the book of Leviticus.
Heaven help the offender. Social Justice knows no mercy.

All I'm thinking is if the social media platforms are going to censor, then I think someone should go after them to make them take legal responsibility for *everything* that's posted on their platforms. Kinda like a DOS attack, but from the courts. It would force them to either stop censoring and go truly neutral or to go under. Either would be a good option.

@grocerybag Yeah, it’s refreshing. Of course, we’re all human and things can get out of hand at times, but I’ve found everyone here to be decent folks.

@Iamthebammbamm Well, no shame my friend. You’re way ahead of 95% of the population. ;)
