Living life in the present age is being almost constantly under pressure from people trying to influence you to do what they want (which is what Advertising is: sales pressure, often of the slimy kind that tries to influence you subconsciously).
Properly trying to do what is rationally in your own self-interest whilst minimizing the influence (as I mentioned, because Marketing nowadays use techniques from Psychology, commonly subconsciously) from those trying to manipulate you into giving them your money is tiresome, to say the least.
Just the other day I saw the new Aquaman film and the amount of in-your-face Product Placement (mainly of a known beer brand) was literally disgusting and significantly spoiled the film (which, frankly, wasn’t all that great to begin with - Special Effect rompfest with bad writting).
I saw my buddy watch the Aquaman film yesterday, and his face was glued to the screen like a child. Seeing anything Marvel or that other one in Europe is like, how do these people just eat this war mongering blatant military propaganda ultraconsumerist bullshit right up like that?
But then I remember it’s because of brainwashing since birth.

Brainless violent rompfest films are basically chewing gum for the brain.
I wouldn’t read too much into it.
I wouldn’t read too much into the 24/7 broadcast of government propaganda installed in every apartment either, truth be told.
