A good friend of mine from New Zealand just sent me this article.
It seems an advertising agency was hand-picked by former Police Commissioner Mike Bush for a $500,000 contract to make memes in NZ’s “fight against Covid-19.”
Within a matter of weeks, this assessment was made of the ad agency’s effort:
“They were putting out non-branded shitty memes and we were having to counter them with proper messaging … It was a serious job and their claim to fame was shit memes.”
Here’s how the agency defended its work:
“Sometimes shitty memes are effective.”
There are several angles that could be taken here but I’ll leave you with these takeaway thoughts:
The Powers-That-Shouldn’t-Be have so much contempt for our discernment skills that they often put very little thought into conditioning us.
At the same time, this example highlights just how inept they are.
Therefore, we should stop doom-scrolling and start taking positive actions with winning in mind.
I’ve been saying it for years: The Parasite Class™ is overplaying its hand and it’s up to us to not do their work for them.
🤣These remind me of “Trapper Keepers” from the early 80s: velcro-sealed binders/folders for school-aged kids with glossy, overly saturated, inspirational “art” on the covers. Like unicorns galloping through rainbow hoops, geometric shapes overlaid with bubble-gum font phrases ie, “Totally awesome!” Gauzy snaps of wide-eyed kittens dangling from fence-tops, “Hanging In There!” ...Except these memes have macabre & Draconian overtones!🙀
Agree, the parasites overplayed their hand. And our greatest weapon is ignoring them and doing something that supports the world we want. Thanks.
