I know. I've read both comments and SotS multiple times. Advertising and marketing are two different things. The most powerful and successful American propaganda/marketing crusade was the suburb. The idea of the "American dream". The creation of alienated little worlds that have no ability to self sustain or self organize.
Beyond that the campaigns by Ford and GM to gut and destroy public transportation in favor of private motor cars. These psychogeographic methods of control are directly related to marketing and advertisment. The creation of a false reality.
This stuff didn't just spring out of thin air. It was planned and designed to produce an expected result. It's a tool used to manipulate people into following a specific ideology.

Some of the newer style ones with the little town centers are literally like Nielsen towns, where they just sit and observe purchasing behaviors and social developments.

The suburbs regularly self organize.
