Freedom, The Cash Crop

 The Real Cost of Those Eggs pt.34 

    Now there is Black rifle coffee, they use only American energy, I’m not a coffee drinker so you are on your own with that description.  

                       See in America, “Commercializing freedom” is a powerful and often over used marketing ideology. At its core, it refers to how companies use the idea of freedom to sell products, services, or lifestyles, often wrapping their brand in patriotic or liberating imagery. Think of ads that say buying a car equals independence, or that a new phone plan will “set you free.” There is even toilet paper for that “freedom feel”

                     Although I, as well as the general public, have become increasingly used to the incursion of commercialization everywhere we look, one thing in particular has drawn my attention. In many of the advertisements I see, the ‘American freedom’ trope has been encapsulated into many themes that these ads represent, and the producers of the products and services often don’t follow the message that they shove down our throats.

               Let’s live better, A Walmart commercial that had plagued my eyesight for months on end had used the Pharrell Williams song “Freedom” as it paraded around Fourth of July clothing, urging the audience to celebrate our own freedom, all the while children sit in cages at the border in one of their own stores-turned-incarceration center. Oh yes, allow me to throw on the American flag hoodie I bought from a source facilitating the destruction of basic human rights.

                The gut-wrenching reality that we live in reveals itself to us every day in the news, our bills and social media. These snapshots of a life longed-for advertise the idea of inevitable wealth and growth, an idea that clashes with the reality that most people live the rest of their lives in the same social classes they were brought up in. In all actuality, these marketing campaigns reek of nothing more than false hope and hypocrisy

      Speaking of  hypocrisy, do I have to say his name? And just to keep it real, the American people. Seeing how the fourth of July is upon us,  Let Freedom Ring
