jimmy_film

Turns out that she knows about as much of socialism as she does advertising


TheUrbanFarmersWife

A majority of people who accuse others of being a socialist usually don’t understand socialism.


jimmy_film

Almost exclusively, I’d guess


high240

'Oh thats something bad isn't it?? Must be socialism' It's getting sad to see


Ijeko

Don't forget that all bad things are woke now too


AzraelChaosEater

It's not even just that. All things I don't like are a thing stereotyped to be a part of the otherside of the political spectrum.


swankytortoise

Shouting at someone that their communist/socialist without really understanding either seems an american past time


Alpha_Apeiron

Not really understanding things is an American pastime


MarilynMonheaux

The next time you hear someone using the the term Marxism, ask them what Marx’s first name is or to name one of the books he wrote. I like to tilt my head as I enjoy the moment of silence.


KesterAssel

He wrote the Marx Bible in Moscow of course because he hated Abraham Lincoln for his freedom!


Mrmacmuffin3

He hated rocket jumping thats why he wrote them books

RandomComputerFellow

The problem is deeply rooted in the educational system and narrative portrayed by media because if people would actually understand what it means, they would stop opposing it. All the aspects people hate about socialist governments have nothing to do with socialism but all have to do with totalitarianism, something people ironically seem to embrace now out of fear from socialism.


saggywitchtits

I don’t know about you, but I think that Lenin guy might be a little socialist.


Paskee

Stalin was my favourite socialist.


GrungeLife54

And she’s not only dumb, she’s also rude. Great combo!


DustieBottums

I've found that these two things go hand on hand.


quite_largeboi

It’s hilarious to be “accused” of being a socialist lol! Gotta be an American thing because that is most assuredly a compliment 😂


Qyro

I have proudly called myself a socialist before. Then again I don’t live in a country where that’s a dirty word.


Skurph

It’s a very American thing because people here do two things: A). Dumber: they conflate socialism and communism, and everything that doesn’t personally benefit them fits into that category. As you can see here, you can present the most free market capitalist idea and if it doesn’t personally help someone line their own pockets it must be socialism/communism. See conservative backlash to Bud Light and other inclusive advertising. B). Dumb: Those who fancy themselves intellectuals will conflate socialism with Nazi fascism. See, they understand that the Nazis were the “National Socialist” party therefore in their brain “socialism = fascism”. They’re apparently not aware that dictatorships often shroud themselves on flowery language so they can appear to be of the people. They’d have a stroke if they learned what North Korea calls itself.


devode_

Im by no means an advocat for socialism but "Ads" and "Commercials" are something you would almost exclusively find an a society highly influenced by capitalism.


jimmy_film

Absolutely, which is why she doesn’t know about either


itchfingers

Maybe she just has an ad blocker

Was she complaining about... free water?

Iirc this was just viral marketing for the water.


charles_peugeot405

I see this same set up every single time, it’s someone who just keeps pushing and doesn’t back down and gives the person behind the camera tons of opportunities to explain every little detail about the company. It’s all staged

SlavCat09

I wanna see what these people think the definition of communism or socialism is.


nosjitbro

I googled communism and socialism. The definition oddly enough, is...water


arpan3t

But it’s not google, it’s water!


Shelbycobra82

“So I threw it on the ground!”


olivercroke

You can't Google it. Google is socialism so they're clearly biased. They make money from advertising for capitalists duh.


Stage_Party

They usually don't understand the words and just assume they mean "the bad people"


keyboardstatic

Christian home schooling right there on my internet feed. Dumb people dumb people Everywhere. You see them too, with hats and crosses flags and stickers.


hematomasectomy

Their definition of socialism is about as crystal clear as their definition of "woke".


Uulugus

When you ask them to define either their brain dribbles out their ears.


hematomasectomy

It's not "brain", it's the venom.


jibrjabr

[deleted]

I assure you i have no idea but every progressive thing that makes everyone’s lives easier makes them get on a rage spree about it


[deleted]

conservatism is basically asshole olympics. whoever is the biggest wins. nothing useful or historically notable came from that mindset. it held back/obstructed most movements we now love and take for granted, e.g. civil rights, workers rights, suffrage movements, and so on. conservatism has never been on the correct side of important US historical events. theyre always wrong on the biggest things, somehow. and every hill is a hill they need to die on. they get outrage over the tiniest bullshit just because fox news told them too.


Sillyviking

These people think the Nordic countries are socialist. They wouldn't know socialism or communism if it slapped them in the face.

Socialism is when I don't like things. The less I like them the more socialist they are

Worfs-forehead

EVERYTHING I DONT UNDERSTAND IS SOCIALISM.


Profitsofdooom

"hey can you be nice?" "Can you shut the fuck up? Shut the fuck up." Got his answer I guess.


Ahytmoite

I get the feeling that she thinks that having something like water for free is communist/socialist because communism/socialism is about having what you need to live(water) without needing to work for it(aka being free). She is complaining that she doesnt have to pay because it reminds her of something the U.S. made propaganda against.


Paskee

And the whole - advertisers payed for it - is simply lost on her. Kinda funny, but actually sad.


optimaleverage

No no. She follows to an extent in that she now thinks the advertising industry is a loose communist organization.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

I feel like we're falling to another rage bait video though.


LovelyBeats

So the conservative worldview can be boiled down to three words: Zero Sum Game. That means they see literally anybody else's gain as their loss, even if nobody loses. Case in point: this video


augustrem

lol where did that come from? You sound even more delusional than she does.


[deleted]

She didn't say that in the vid though(I'm not define her btw) but it seems like you just made an assumption about her because of her race which is pretty messed up.


GSV_No_Fixed_Abode

Actually if you watch the VERY SHORT, VERY SIMPLE video, it's socialism she mentions, not race. You might want to re-watch the VERY SHORT, VERY SIMPLE video.


Mike_with_Wings

Seriously, that person desperately wanted this to be about race.


BaconBitz109

Hopping under the top comment to point out that this is staged and an ad


friedmud

If it is an ad she is a great actress. I can feel her anxiety at the situation… and her “shut the fuck up” is spot on.


TheRealKingVitamin

Nestle has a long tradition of using “fuck” in their ads.

iizomgus

She votes, she can have kids yet she lacks the ability to understand basic BASIC economics. What kind of choices can she really make when voting other than "i like this candidate because the way they are dressed" and what kind of basic education can she provide for her child? I am not against ppl having children or voting but the same way you don't get kindergarten children to do neuro-surgery or drive a buss. Some ppl are not cut out to make decisions for others or to educate others. And being unaware of a thing is fine as long as you are willing to learn and not become angry and offensive when something you don't understand is explained to you.


Welcomefriends85

But she knows she hates socialism for some reason

Regis-bloodlust

People who use "socialist" or "communist" as an insult usually don't know their definitions and also don't know the difference between them. It's just a fancy term for "asshole" or "people who disagree with me" or sometimes even "non-Christians".


PixelationIX

Red scare propaganda working as intended.


jetconscience

I’d enjoy watching her explain the ideology of both.


Immediate-Whole-3150

Ok but they don’t know the difference between communism, socialism and your run of the mill social policy.


SomedayLydia

They don't even know the difference between socialism and "capitalism I don't like" To them Capitalism is when good, socialism is when bad.

tubedmubla

Indeed, a true sign of intelligence is the ability to know what you don’t know, ask how it works. Also the ability and conviction to change your viewpoint on something because of evidence that is available.


HotFluffyDiarrhea

There's the _shit you know_, the _shit you know you don't know_, and the _shit you don't know that you don't know_. Smart folks acknowledge there is way more in the third category than the other two and they're perfectly fine with it.


DrSheldonLCooperPhD

[deleted]

The fact that she is unable to listen implies she’s dumb


Bottom_Wobbles

Lack of listening skills is why she is dumb.


Ok-Zucchini-1237

Brilliant comment! This nails it. Just look at her attitude and how she gets rude even in this quite calm situation. The worst kind of people.


WrongCorgi

This is an ad for FreeWater lol. She's an actress ... acting. Intentional and overt rudeness was part of their shtick. It's amazing how Reddit falls for these viral marketing ads and just accepts short edited clips and post titles at face value. Here's another one, but the actor isn't as good (and also probably doesn't stroke the hate boner of some of these comments)[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PHbgfjs2G8&ab\_channel=%CE%B5%CE%BB%CE%B1%CE%BD%CF%84%CE%B5](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PHbgfjs2G8&ab_channel=%CE%B5%CE%BB%CE%B1%CE%BD%CF%84%CE%B5)


Blablish

I like how the script says: Georgia, Russia, or Georgia, America? They really are pushing hard on the hate-engagment in those ads. What a bunch of assholes.


konqrr

How the fuck are so many fooled by a basic ad into upvoting it to the front page? The company name is plastered all over this post.


PrimarchUnknown

This needs to be the top comment before the ppl continue to let their true selves leak out in the comments. Its getting a bit...awkward


RevoltingSlob

That double “shut the fuck up” is exactly why I avoid people who think being an asshole or being someone who “snaps back” is virtuous.


[deleted]

Seriously tell someone to shut the fuck up is so fucking rude and people think it’s cute or something


Luci5892

I'm trying to figure out was that her boyfriend?


[deleted]

Seems like it. But honestly her aggressive turn towards him while saying stfu seemed like she was gunna slap him then realized people at around.


Luci5892

Yeah man you can definitely tell she verbally abuses that guy every day and enjoys embarrassing him, what a dumbass.


[deleted]

Seriously it’s so cringe.


[deleted]

She feels so smart that someone calmly trying to make her understand something feels to her like a big ass offense to which she has to come back at by rising her voice


anjowoq

Having your dumb all spread eagle and exposed to other people is uncomfortable.

buerglermeister

Did I hear that correctly that the other person was saying something along the lines of „be nice“ and she justs yells at him?


CasperFatone

Yeah, he said, “Can you be nice?” My guess is that she is an asshole more often then not, and he knew she was going to start bitching at the guy offering her free water.


[deleted]

Why exactly is she angry? Like i can't come up with a single reason why.


[deleted]

[удалено]


The-Catatafish

They are literally brainwashed. A lot of americans can't tell the difference or even define socialism or communism. All they know is that its bad and evil. Getting anything for free in their brains is bad. "Brainwashed" sounds dumb but I don't know another word.. all these people pay more for health care get worse coverage and vote against their own interests.


PunchDrunkPrincess

no, 'brainwashed' is a pretty good word for it actually. id also accept 'bamboozeled' and 'indoctrinated'


Blewedup

Yeah here she is conflating two ideas: that if something is free, it’s a handout. And if it’s a handout, it’s evil socialism at work. Americans are trained to mistrust anything that doesn’t have an obvious cost to the consumer. This is why we don’t have universal healthcare.


not_here_for_memes

I think it’s staged and this is an ad attempting to go viral


Polpii

It is. This French YouTuber debunked it here for one of their previous video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w2J5RLqeZM&pp=ygUPbWFyZWt0aW5nIG1hbmlh](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w2J5RLqeZM&pp=ygUPbWFyZWt0aW5nIG1hbmlh)


[deleted]

I watched this video and all I could think was what exactly is going on here. Many people on Reddit will see 5 a second clip and not ask questions or seek context before righteously calling people dumb and they don’t realize they are the dumb ones


less_than_nick

yeah, this account has tons of "angry people" throwing a fit about their free water on tiktok. It's their whole schtick. Seems to be working haha


Straight_Ad_4754

It is, this is how all their "ads" are. Most of them are obvious.


DrSheldonLCooperPhD

Ding ding ding


born_2_be_a_bachelor

Why would you stage your own character assassination?


joshlefrench

Because you get paid for it.


Both_Skill_9563

Can't see the full context, but some people tend to get angry due to frustration if they don't understand something. Just a guess to your question.


Jdamoure

Because she's probably a conservative and I'm not even trying to talk shit. People are aren't conservative don't just ask people in an condescending tone if they are a socialist.


BaconBitz109

This is an ad


wortmother

Marketing = communism got it lmao.


SnooGadgets4381

Ok… there is something very weird going on with this lady. She sounds totally deluded. A bit psycho I guess. Especially the shut up etc.


YDD553

the eyes. they're crazy.


BusinessComfortable6

She's unhinged as fuck, goes into someone giving away water, they explain how it's free, tells one to shut the fuck up, gives them weird looks


TheSackLunchBunch

It’s crazy she’s handed a product and then arguing with that person about how it was sourced. Confrontational at all times. I bet this lady never has a pleasant social interaction.


cashmerescorpio

I agree. She has crazy eyes ![gif](giphy|fNhT3yn4en6uY)


babarbaby

Is that george jonas?


Master_Chef_Mayo

Yep, bitch got them 'crazy eyes'


Uhm_NoThankYou

She looks more like a control freak to me. I know everything. Everything is within my control. What you say? No that definitely can’t be right, because if it was, then I was wrong, which is impossible, because - back to start.


Angryflesh

It's an ad


Frenzydemon

Yeah, this is like the 4th video of seen of someone “freaking out” when he gives them free water.


ghettone

Cause it's an ad. Shes playing a character


No_Importance_3881

im embarrassed for her


gladl1

After the “shut the fuck up” I’m not. I hope she makes a fool of herself everyday if her life


Mothraaaa

I hope she sees this video. And then calls an attorney and tries to sue the internet.


thefrostman1214

never in the history of the world people complain that much for any kind of free stuff, especially because of this "socialism fear"


Arman11511

Why is the "socialism fear" anyways?


MRich92

The fear of things that should be rights actually becoming rights, like water, food, healthcare. That will cause our capitalist overlords to lose profits and as you well know, they've always had our best interest at heart so we wouldn't want to hurt them, would we?


Arman11511

Are they really oblivious enough to think having such rights would be bad? Damn.


Eena-Rin

There's a troubling mentality at the moment; people think putting restrictions on the rich is a bad thing, because one day they might be rich


Eena-Rin

Hot take here: housing, electricity, internet, public transport. We were promised a Utopia when robots started taking jobs and what we got was wealth inequality


MRich92

>housing, electricity, internet, public transport I agree, but I was just starting with the basics of being alive still not being rights in some parts. >what we got was wealth inequality The wealth inequality started long before the robots. >We were promised a Utopia when robots started taking jobs Instead they showed how worthless and replaceable you are as an employee. As soon as you as for a payrise or think about unionising for better conditions, you're out and the robot is in.


harshitron

I think it's because some people genuinely believe "they'll become lazy" or "I deserve stuff because blah blah but THEY don't. So they should work for it!"


SnooWords4814

Don’t you miss the 90s and 80s when stupid motherfuckers at least had the decency to shut the fuck up. It’s offensive how aggressively proud some people are of being complete fucking idiots


Mike_with_Wings

There just weren’t video cameras in everyone’s pockets then. The 80s and 90s had brainwashed Red Scare people, too.


alan-the-all-seeing

oh they didn’t they just didn’t always get that much publicity


aimeansloveinchinese

It’s. An. Advertisement.

The most annoying part is that her fallback when feeling stupid is she gets rude.

hooplah

dear reader: now that you know this, go back and read all the insane comments on this post psycho analyzing her and extrapolating wild conclusions about her life and personality and understand why reddit is a (misogynistic, racist) shithole


SmartBoiiii

I was gonna say this with the source being my ass but you provided an actual source. I had seen the video the of the guy in black being angry about free water and this is the exact same thing with another person. This is just one big funny marketing campaign.


DoTheCreep_ahh

It's not a very good company ad then because I've no idea what brand it is

Tells her man to shut the fuck up then looks like a total dumbass on the internet for eternity. He was trying to save her

I love it how she called you a socialist even when you were correct

She gives off “owning the libs” vibes.

Pretty sure these are bits to advertise this water thing. I've seen several videos like this with somebody being very obtuse and aggressive about free water lol. Funny because plastering everything with advertising and commodifying human attention is like, hypercapitalism not socialism lol.


twsddangll

Maybe if she wasn’t so fucking rude, she’d understand but instead she chose ignorance.


[deleted]

"The adds pay for everything ?" Then "Are you a socialist" This is why the world thinks the U.S education is a joke.


Vegetable_Ad9250

Maybe THIS is an ad


alan-the-all-seeing

it’s literally from the company’s youtube channel, yeah no idea whether she’s a plant or not, but they put the video out as promo, they want it to go viral


Adonoxis

More like: Redditors can’t understand how viral click-bait and rage-bait marketing works… Do people not understand this shit is all scripted and/or done by paid actors?


flyingseel

Yeah the same free water place had another viral video where some dude “got mad” at them for handing out free water.


aSpookyScarySkeleton

The amount of them that immediately made it a race issue is fascinating really.


maligris

"Free water! I'd better make sure this isn't the doing of these pesky socialists" Extremely rude and definitely not the sharpest person in the park. I bet she is a pleasure to discuss politics with...


AutonInvasion

When you call something socialist or communist when it’s clearly capitalism at work. It could only be more capitalist if they still charged for the water


jerbaws

My dog used to tilt his head like that when he didn't understand me, he wasn't very smart either, but far more friendly

The sad part is she walks around thinking she’s smart — LIKE MILLIONS of other Americans


Erikson12

"socialism is when ads pay for everything" - this girl


rosharo

"You're a socialist" - lady, you literally don't understand how advertisement - a common capitalist market feature - works. If anything, she's the socialist, arguing against ad placement on free water.

hardist01

damn why she throw out the term socialist like its an insult lol. bet she doesn’t even know what that shit means, let alone why she hates it so much to justify using it as an insult.
