Did I at any point say they didn't? I was explaining why that happens, lmao.

Knowing the why means that one sane person would not want to do the same mistake again if (s)he learned the lesson in the first place...

hope you get what I'm saying...

What "same mistakes?" Capitalism? Yes, I agree, we should abolish it and progress towards Socialism.

Literally everyone uses the media that way, media always has bias and if you're ignorant to it you should be more wary.

Maybe it is time to start abolishing media and advertising in the first place...

*I bet a lot of those downvoting work in advertising/media... No pun intended.

Media nah leave it, advertising I'd absolutely be down for. Advertising and Marketing are essentially the science of tricking our brains, and when that lever is exposed to capital you get enshittification and misery.
