Target, MasterCard, power tools, and everything else. I knew a lot of these companies were in bed with each other, but it's a disturbing thought to consider Target as part of the MCU canon.

    It's just shitty as a Black person to see such cynical marketing ploys. I don't want to be called self-hating for not being interested in seeing the three hour toy commercial.

        Love that the first movie made an attempt at fixing systemic racism by opening a community center in Oakland.

        one of the first issues of the Black Panther comic has him disavow the Black Panther Party and he calls them "stereotypes" whatever that means

              As a staunch Marxist, he becomes an objectivist, since he sees everything in black-and-white.

              This is a running joke in the Paranoia ttrpg. The insane AI that runs the dystopian megacity is extremely anti-communist, and since the AI is evil and crazy everyone assumes that communism must be awesome. But it's so far in the future after so many nuclear wars that no one really knows what communism is, so they base it off of fragmentary Marx Bros. movies. They also think that Lenin is the one from the Beatles.

            It could get posted and it would be considered hilariously ironic until people see it's real.
