Not a hot take but I’m driving across the county rn and there’s so much natural beauty I can’t fully appreciate bc every time I see a god damn fucking billboard I am so enraged. Especially the ones that are just advertising the billboard itself, “if you’re looking at this it means it works! Rent today!” SHUT THE FUCK UP!! I wanna pull over and torch them so much
Nothing sold me more on Cuba and socialism in general a few years back when I heard there are no billboards in Cuba.
Can you imagine not being advertised to every second of your waking life.
I remember reading Reds! (an alternate history where the US had a socialist revolution) and in one of the short stories a person from America went to France, and couldn't focus because of the constant barrage of advertising. That really made me start to notice how omnipresent they are
