I'm not a conspiracy nut or anything, but that's exactly what those corporations are doing to our society.
[–] Swole_is_life 0 points 28 points 28 points (+28|-0) ago
Corporations are only interested in money and fatties are a gold mine. Of course they want to encourage poor impulse control and overconsumption, they'll make a shitload of money off it.
It's not a conspiracy, it's just capitalism.

Fatties are easy to exploit. Just slap a videogame on a red-coloured beverage with 82g of sugar and it sells like hotcakes.
Lazy fat fucks literally work for money to spend on poison because it gives them a new hat in Call of Duty.

They want us all to become like the fats in WALL-E so they can rape the earth of all usefulness and make as much money then charge everyone to live on their space station so they can rape the moon or some other planet too.

Should be. It's a lot more fun if you don't let the bullshit get you down.

Corporations, maybe. But I don't see how the government can benefit from a fat and weak populace. Sure, it'll make us easier to control and subjugate, but a weak population means fewer eligible to serve in the military. It means higher healthcare costs and lower lifespans. It means greater wear on infrastructure and greater fuel consumption.
[–] bieberhole_69 0 points 7 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago
I don't think it would be so much of a greater wear on fuel consumption/infrastructure that they can't keep up with it. And weak doesn't mean we wouldn't have plenty of people strong enough and willing to be in the military, we're a country with 330 million people. The government definitely wants the populace to not question things and to just 'go with the flow' - because it makes it easier for them to make changes and do whatever they want without backlash. If they know they can get away with something to save money, for example, that we won't like but won't say anything about because we're too distracted by sports and junk food and the E channel and by keeping up with the Hollywood trends, they're much more likely to be able to implement it

I see this as just a symptom of ever increasing corruption & decadence of western civilization, maybe not necessarily intentional, just to avoid putting on a tin-foil hat, it is the result of humans just following human nature to be greedy.
I would say that, despite the occasional improvements in "social justice", (for lack of a better term), politicians are increasingly in the pocket of big business (military-industrial complex, wall street, corporations able to fund millions into political campaigns, etc). Then you have corrupt law enforcement (civil forfeiture, war on drugs, militarization of police, CIA/DEA having cocaine hooker parties & selling guns to cartels, overly powerful police unions, etc) & prison-industrial complex.... these things and overextending resources with near constant warfare (war on terror, war on drugs, war on christmas (joke) remind me a lot of the decline of the Roman Empire.
I might be wrong about this as I can't really call myself a historian, but there's no question that corporations are making huge bank off fat, lazy, & poor uneducated people.
Walmart was #1 on the Fortune 500 list in 2015... & where can we always be certain to find the most disgusting and egregious examples of fatty scum on FPH? Walmart.

The army of the not so distant future will mostly be fought with drones and other machines. Size won't really matter, so long as their fingers aren't too fat to push buttons.
I mean, hell, the US Army is already using video games to recruit people.
[–] Goater 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
You don't have a Capitalist Republic in USA anymore. USA is a corrupt Corporatist society unfortunately.
Therefore, the corporations are basically the government through what you guys call "lobbying" and we call bribes, and we all know long term things like healthcare, lifespans, military etc mean shit to companies. Only short term goals apply in corporate environment. Thus, the massive problems starting to occur.
Whats the point in a corporation of building infrastructure that won't be completed until your dead and you make no money from it.

I love that app, when I'm bored I shitlord the hell out of people on it. Especially the "woe is me, Im fat, depressed and Ill never get a man. Please tell me Im attractive!!"
The responses I get are hilarious.
[–] Sparkles9615 ago
I do the exact same thing on whisper. Fat people get offended over anything in general.
[–] Shit_Lord_EatinGrin [S] ago
They think they're right, which is annoying

I wouldn't go that far, but I'm sure there are some coca cola and McDonald's people out there furiously liking fat acceptance on all social media.
[–] Goater 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
Coca-Cola Company and their respective geographical subsidaries have entire teams dedicated to doing exactly this. I'd estimate at minimum (assuming they haven't got better bots since I last saw) the entire group employees between 100-200 people globally for this.
If they have teams (usual 5 to 20) from what I've seen, that just focus on the major channels like facebook twitter etc, I wonder what size teams do they have for the real underhanded shit like subliminal advertisements for channels like Reddit.
You might want to lower your threshold as to the depths of what people/companies will do if it makes profit, just look at the amount of money given to U.S politicians by Coca-Cola. Money flows from Coke to Gov, Gov to Corn Farmers, Coke gets cheaper HFCS for production, Gov gets to make it out like they are "helping out the poor farmer" and Coke gets greater power to amend legislation to strangle smaller businesses and improve their own profitability.
Fat Acceptance most likely arose naturally, but I don't see the same government response to such a massive health problem, compared to what they did for smoking or lead in petrol.
Thus, in my opinion it must meet their goals.

I'm sure the fitness industry is doing the same thing but maybe they need to ramp it up..
[–] blue5car 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago (edited ago)
Fatties are apex consumers.
A fattie eats more, needs more textiles to clothe their hideous bodies, needs more medicine to treat beetus, and buys more cosmetics to cake on their excessive skin surface area.
I understand why Big Corps love fatties.

Can you get banned from this app? Because challenge accepted if so.
[–] Shit_Lord_EatinGrin [S] 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
I honestly don't think so
[–] Curvy_ina_goodway ago
It's easy to control people that can't run away. Fuck it. Let them get fatter. Easier for me.
