given the general 50/50 split, you're always going to ostracize half your customer base

It's just marketers living in their bubble and having no idea what actually works

Also, isn't it pronouned Nikee

right, its pronounced slave labor

i mean sweatshop labor

Bangladesh

A movie comes out and is successful because it's good, but it also has minority actors in it, so that leads the SJWs and critics to flood the internet and talk about how they loved it *because* of the minorities which leads the marketers to see that and assume that that's why it was successful since that's what everyone is talking about

So then they shove tokens into a bad movie and are confused why it 'worked for that other movie but not for us'

i love how we worked hard to remove boring token characters... then the left brings them back in like under 2 years and make them even more cookie-cutter than before

^ not boring

he can play bass and he doesn't even know it

i'm surprised south park is still on. Then again people probably gave up trying to defame south park.

best 45 seconds of TV you'll ever watch

great show

I miss..

everything before 2010

I think somehow our govt here in .za thinks we are in the uncanny valley of socialism

and if we just implement more socialist policies we will be a utopia - even though so far every socialist policy just made everything worse

the solution to Socialism failing is more Socialism (tm)

yup

double down, can never had a deep enough hole

half the population is not employed - we are in recession - but surely stealing property will fix everything

i mean, half the population doesn't own property anyway because they are employed, right?

yes

we have bad inequality - but that is in part because we have had double digit unemployment for almost 3 decades

and the government tries their best to avoid any policy that would increase economic growth

rather opting for just redistributive policies

while constantly shriking the pie in real terms: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?locations=ZA

our GDP per capita has been going down since 2011

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.UEM.TOTL.ZS?locations=ZA

since 1991 the unemployment was only below 20% for one year

I would gladly pay more taxes if our govt would just get their head out of their arse and drop the anti-liberal policies

but even then they would just pocket the money and say "see, it's not working, we are too corrupt - we need to steal people's shit instead"

they are just making everyone equal

true dat

and you can't lift everyone up for free, but you sure can make them all poor for free

yeah

and the worse thing is the west running cover for this bullshit - like Theresa May saying she is fine with it as long as it is legal and democratic
