  • The point I’m making is that it’s naïve to think that legal mandate has so much less a power to influence people than social pressure, ideology, marketing etc.

    That’s why Coca-Cola are more powerful than most governments.

    lmao.

    What an embarrassing thing to say. I’m sure you think you’re very smart, using a diaeresis, but stop and think about what you’re actually saying for a minute longer.

    If it doesn’t become clear to you, no, social pressure is not stronger than physical coercion with the threat of death from a police force nearly indistinguishable from the army.

    And the thing about Coca-Cola is a complete non sequitur. It’s possible that they are more powerful than many governments because they have unfathomable amounts of money and most countries are tiny with only a few million poor inhabitants, but it’s got nothing to do with marketing.
