Nice message, but I am wondering what's that red star doing on America's map at the 1:43-1:50 mark. Red star has been a symbol of communism and socialism. But I don't want to jump the gun and assume there is some subliminal message there. Just confused y'all... Is red star also a symbol for Jeep or something like that? https://youtu.be/D2XYH-IEvhI ETA: the original video from Jeep youtube has been removed due to Springsteen's arrest for DWI. But you can find it here: http://youtu.be/-gPOPLrUfyw IP: Logged |

This has a lot of people annoyed, because they don’t want to unite with people who tried to overthrow the government. Now you’re looking for some kind of communist agenda? I guess it united people in a different way than intended. IP: Logged |

That was deeply Inspirational.. Did you hear the weaving of portions of quotes by Martin Luther King Jr, and Lincoln, etc. There was another famous saying about lighting a candle in the darkness-- I had heard a quote like that came from a famous speech in past centuries of American times-- Can't remember 'who'. .. Could have been a famous Lawyer, Judge, {or Senator?}-- Was the closing statement. Was during a storm where the Proceedings wrapped without lights because of a Nor'easter storm? Did it by candlelight in the dark. Famous Orator? Did you catch symbol of The Cross with Sunrays bursting behind it? The Stars on our Flag are White on Midnight Blue. Red stripes ~ for the blood that spilled in the Fight for Freedom. Also, for the blood shed and loss of life during recent Insurrection. The shape of the USA was black-- In a way of seeing, this could symbolize Mourning! Mourning the "LOSS of LIFE" from the COVID-19 Pandemic. Every single US State has hundreds and thousands of citizens in 'mourning'. . . Loss of Life at the Jan 6 2021 Insurrection in the US Capitol Building. . . Loss of Harmony and Peace. I saw the Red Star as simply marking the MIDDLE. The film was made at geographic center-point within the 48 contiguous States. The Star marked the SPOT -- "You Are Here". Message of the film was to remember our Middle. RED was a good contrast-color against the black background. RED could is the color of blood. The bloodshed, from Hate and Anger acted out upon humans. Our HEARTS are considered to be the Middle and Core Part of us. RED is the color of our Heart-- so many Hearts are hurting-- including those hit by Economic Losses at this time-- jobs, homes, businesses, health. The Springsteen Commercial touched my Heart.. I could relate to the somber tone, with the Sorrow and Heaviness inside as I reflect on the US's state of affairs. (Brought tears to my eyes.)

I cant wrap my ahead around celeb worship. Watching this wealthy, full of himself has been sell out hawking cars (read: political propaganda) as if he were some blue collar working man's hero just makes my stomach turn. He's an old wh*re and he and his HW pimps can f*ck off with their shallow feel good bulllshit. That's all I got.IP: Logged |

I figured it was like a GPS location marker. Nothing more. There won’t be unity, because people are still supporting insurrectionists. There is no way to feel good about people, when they’re still doing that. People are still pushing conspiracy theories - nothing has changed, except for the main line-up in our government, and that’s only because enough people didn’t want the nightmare to continue.

Are you talking about the amendment that gave women the right to vote? Aren’t you a woman? I used to know one who thought we should lose that right. I don’t sit analyzing commercials for anything that might point to a political conspiracy led by those I disagree with. Women should lose the right to vote, because I don’t believe a conspiracy theory? I googled, and saw trumpers going nuts over that red star. IP: Logged |

Yeah that's the one. lol Im willing to sacrifice my vote to keep clueless people out of the voting booth. For every Belage there are a thousand teasels and Im not ok with that ratio. You don't "sit analyzing" anything, that's the problem. IP: Logged |

Shura, that statement doesn't advance me or Teasel or constructive dialogue. I really wish you re-think it and take it back. IP: Logged |

No. It stands. I use you as an example not because I agree with you, as I usually do not, or because I stand with you in solidarity or some such silliness, but because you are willing to think - to digest and not mindlessly consume. Teasel has made it clear for several years now that she is not. She is one of many millions and that is a dangerous trend to be called out, not politely dismissed lest we god forbid ruffle a few feathers. IP: Logged |

You're not above it all shura, there's plenty of things you mindlessly consume and you're also full of confirmation bias and prejudice. You just like to think of yourself as a maverick but you're actually quite off track. You don't really know who teasel is you're just generalizing her as a "brainwashed liberal voice." We're all just as individual as you, you're not the only unique one around.IP: Logged |

I dont know who teasel is and I dont care. Her individuality does not preclude mindless consumption. Yes, I'm generalizing her. Why not? Further, I will generalize Randall as a mindless Repub voice. Want to argue that?No, Im not unique! In fact, it might still be argued that in practice there are more of 'me' than of 'you'. (Though certainly 'you' are more vocal) I'm an accelerationist of necessity, not desire, with my back against against the wall as it were. Accelerationism is not my base ideology. If the status quo is on track, I will happily ride off track. That light you see at the end of your track isnt what you think it is. IP: Logged |

I invite anyone uncertain about symbolism to research it for yourselves. "red star" in Wikipedia or elsewhere. This video shared here was removed from view off the app. There's a lot uproar about this Jeep ad. ~ Rightfully so. - http://youtu.be/-gPOPLrUfyw ~ May this have been only a warning and not much more. To read between the lines,likened to Pirates win the bowl. Yet we see a redstar in the center of our map in The Boss's ad. "Jeepers creepers .."
On the Map ~ http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanon,_Kansas and in pop culture the Winchesters (Supernatural) are from there. I personally am linked there by my lineage too. ~ Kansas ... the Chiefs lost! IP: Logged |
