Advertisements are the huge problem. They are far more destructive than any, but the alt-right-wing, tinfoil hat wearing, conspiracy theorist, can think of. Advertisements of today are designed to break people. They destroy their psyche and their self worth.

i.e. You are incomplete, a failure, not up to the challenge, but if you had OUR product, then you might be ok.

This is advertising of today. And, if the people doing it were good people, they would stop. Or, as a great comedian, Bill Hicks says, "Kill yourself".
