The most common truck, the most common phone, food from the most ubiquitous fast food joint, having merch from the most popular artists and sports teams.
Those are their biggest flexs.
Yeah buddy, great flex with your Taylor swift hoodie, Starbucks frap, iPhone 12 in your Ford F-150.
Its especially confusing because for many, many years, and even still today, American’s are pushed to be UNIQUE and whenever anyone is UNIQUE then people criticize them for enjoying or doing things outside whatever is ubiquitous for whatever thing. Its ridiculous honestly.
If you think about it, it just proves the ‘genius’ behind these companies advertising strategies. They have managed to convince a large percentage of the population that their mass market products a rare, unique and something to be desired.
Americans flex about the weirdest things.

Advertising. You can partly blame Freud’s American nephew Edward Bernays.
The father of PR, pioneer of propaganda and advertising, and an epic cunt.

And also the most common death of children being shot.

Is this the new Godwin’s law? That every thread will culminate in someone bringing up school shootings for no fucking reason?
As long as America will come up as a topic, which is likely yes.
I mean yeah, it’s a huge goddamn problem and our national shame, but that doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to derail every thread with it.
