Did you know Prime Day was literally created by a corporation just to sell more stuff

Comments

Yaman was born to the sound of bombs instead of lullabies.
A child who has known nothing but cold and hunger—he needs only milk and diapers.
Let us be the warmth of this world for him, before cruelty takes him as it has taken so many before.

Wait, so I’ve been celebrating Optimus Prime every year for nothing?

Optimus Prime was also created by a corporation to sell more stuff.

We've been playing into the Capitalisticons evil machinations from the start.

At this point I think holidays are owned by corporations and are just reused to give them reason to raise prices to discount later

Wait WHAT

I thought it was to celebrate numbers only fully divisible by itself

Valentine's day was invented to rebrand mutant vampire ex-corporate security officers as heroic.

Sob!
All this time,all this time!
I WAS RIGHT!
People called me crazy but I knew!
I’d seen their eyes!
I tried to warn them but nobody would listen!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your truth with me!💙🍌
