Food for thought. Good article about the lady who portrayed Aunt Jemima and what the company removing her from the label does to her memory.

The Fight To Commemorate Nancy Green, The Woman Who Played The Original 'Aunt Jemima'

Sherry Williams has spent 15 years researching Green's legacy. As Quaker Oats retires the Aunt Jemima name from its pancake products, Williams hopes it won't be forgotten.

I actually reckon half these companies are doing this for the free publicity.

Only half hey? Call me a cynic but I'd say 100% of the branding changes are opportunistic marketing exercises.

Tell me, when was the last time you thought about Redskin candy?

Exactly! I was talking with a mate about it today. All the stuff being rebranded are battlers anyway. Eskimo pie? Tastes great but I honestly can’t remember the last time I’d heard someone say “jeez I could go an Eskimo pie”.

I imagine the people making gaytime would like to rebrand but are stuck with it.

We’d all be better off if we stopped frothing at the mouth at self interested businesses marketing exercises.

Maybe. I'll wait till I hear it from Serena Williams the soccer mum.

Honestly though.. I never thought I'd see the day where people are white knighting for corporations and brands in this manner.

We're talking about a nestle product. Absurd.

WTF is that?

Nothing extra terrestrial, judging by the comments.

View attachment 897800
i hope its a sign for good things are going to happen for North.

can also add this:
went to get a new riding helmet for horseback riding and the place i went to (near me, not that store but the company itself) was founded in 1975 and i heard the song, Down Under by Men at Work while there.

3.5 years ago

We just had 2 weeks of militarised police led by an authoritarian president crushing dissent. That was real world. Not theoretical musings that Peterson hadn’t read in 20 years.

But its a golden gay time. That’s good.

They should start paying their workers and not ducking up the planet. That would be more convincing they were interested in something other than brand position.

Very interesting story, when the documentary came out ages ago I missed it but since heard about what he went though

I posted that clip for the rational poster to analyze.

Your dissonance is noted.

It’s appropriating gayness

Yeah but that’s just a personal insult. Real world authoritarianism is happening. Peterson is sidelined on this one.

Wtf is that editing
It cuts between the shot and the bloody foot.. I can't figure out what they'd need to edit if it was real.

Also the comments under it in twitter are disappointing as expected.

Real world authoritarianism is happening.

I am fully aware of that.

Peterson is sidelined on this one.

You're in no way even remotely qualified to dismiss him.

As a recovering victim myself, My mind doesn't view the world as conspiring to keep me down.
I make my own world

What does that have to do with learning how to think properly?

Critical theory is politically independent. It's application to situations is what has all you alt lite types so upset.

It's like builders refusing to use hammers cos someone used one in a bank robbery.

Although the use of critical theory to examine things isn't quite the same as liberating capital from its jailers.
