"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is one of his most famous marketing slogans. It was used to sell bacon as a breakfast meat. Streaky bacon was previously like any other meat and served at any time of day. Bernays was amazing at his job.

I have been thinking about this soooo much. Like these people are nice and normal but capable of such evil shit. My brain breaks. I want them to download my mental feed and show them what I see.

Can we petition to make the day of his death (March 9) a holiday where we all celebrate by burning him in effigy? It seems fitting.
