do a sh'tty job of promoting their products. This Pepsi ad is a mess and it does nothing to make me want to buy their products. Idiots.

Do we know who created it? It was all over social media, seldom with any attribution.

I especially don't watch videos when the poster cares so little about it that they can't be bothered to summarize and make a case for it.

The modifications make it funnier, and possibly more honest.

Notes from the video :

"
Consume
Capitalism solves everything
Capitalism is happiness
Respect authority
Reproduce and die
"

I would change the last one to:
Reproduce, work and then die

Believe in and serve the system, you will be given a secure place to live out your life. Just don't ask too many questions. They won't kill you necessarily, just displace and marginalize you if you become a problem.

Who are they? Anyone who benefits from the continuing operations of the system. And generally speaking, the greater one's wealth the greater one is invested in keeping the system running as it is.

I see this as the conservative vision of the world.
