the consumer society [Theme] Page 4



The consumer society - the world's evil, a horseman of the Apocalypse, almost the devil incarnate. Destroy it and jump to the drum at the ready around the campfire. Of course, it'll lead to a magical solution to all our problems. So, do you think? - you just move forward, continuing to speak only for him. - Expose the flaws of a consumer society with a view to their destruction - the same thing to set fire to houses in which we live. The consumer society is not an incomprehensible mass of obscure people living on a different planet. The consumer society is us.
Everything now lies on your Desk, everything you wearing right now: your shirt, pants, belt, watch, even your underwear - all of this you have only because of the needs and impact you ashamed of the consumer society, you are served even closer. He in turn is angry even more, instinctively stretching out like a string. At the time it seems that the class remains only your voice, so don't be ashamed of what you do not understand, what you belong with giblets, because sooner or later it will swallow you without a trace and the faultless the bubble in which you live, will burst and kill you all of you imposed ideals. To destroy consumer society is possible only through mass suicide, and I don't think that the ego of modern man is an acceptable way out. So we can't be against consumer society, as well as to destroy it because the consumer society is us. No matter how ugly, stupid and disgusting it may be - we are.

A huge layer of people vparivaet you that it is impossible to feel and evaluate before you pull out your wallet. Receives money from you, lives at your expense. But leaves you just the right to pay and take their services as a favor.

People voluntarily chose a profession to serve others, convinced that fate has deprived them, by making a "servant". And only their dictatorship over those who are capable though as-that to brighten up this class injustice.

- Do you really think that your culture is better than ours? You are killing animals and oppress women!
It will still be better than a clock to watch as millionaires go on the red carpet on the platform "Emmy"!
Yeah, man, he made us.

- What a beauty. <...> Oh my God, where? Are you in Paris flew?
Why? No, I bought it here in the store.
- How?
Well, for the currency, of course.
- And, Yes, of course... For our money, don't buy it.
- Oh, you idiot, I'm a nerd. I showed you that you are poor that you do not can buy.
- What are you? No, you're very generous.
- No, Sonja, you must understand, it is not important. This is all not important. It's beautiful packaging and all. You can't buy and you happy people.
Yeah.
- No, you don't understand. You are not slaves! You are not slaves of money. You may not think about them. You can think about the main thing. Love, soul, God, the universe... we're all talking only about money. The society of consumption. Buy, buy, buy.
- And we - get it, get it, get it, get it. Yes, I understand, Andryushenka, it is certainly not important. Only when it is, and when it is not, somehow, think that is the most important.

iPhilm industry, or "akinator" (why would marketers not to let us simply "if" or even "K-IP" - all understand about what speech) today is developing in the same direction as all other types of "entertainment": empty dynamics, repetition has made once the cashier cliché, virtue signalling in the form of obsequious submission the last squeak of the left censorship (issues for the business does not need anyone) - and a complete rejection of all that can at least linger a while in the mental gut. The consciousness of the consumer should remain empty and ready to receive a new product until we wrote this sentence, on the outskirts of his eyes, ears and nose already formed a wildly beeping tube. It is not surprising that discerning connoisseurs doubt whether it is possible to consider Ifilm art or better to include them in the genre of pornography - popular, but not the shadow of the wing of a Muse.

Why do haters separate us like Siamese twins?
Technology turns people into zombies.
All digging dirt on each other.
Acid rain, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis,
Terrorists, crime waves, robberies and robberies.
The cops shout "don't move", and immediately shoot to kill.
The air is so polluted that it's hard to breathe.
Endangered species, destroyed entire forests.
If the world was in my hands,
I would eliminate all these anomalies.
But all around are only interested in a new ceremony and awarding.
The war and the atrocities of poverty.
And why do haters separate us like we siamese?
Technology turning the planet into zombies
Everybody all in everybody's dirty laundry
Acid rain, earthquakes, hurricane, tsunamis
Terrorists, crime sprees, assaults and robberies
Cops yelling "stop freeze," shoot him before he try to leave
Air quality so foul, I gotta try to breathe
Endangered species, and we running out of trees
If I could hold the world in the palm of these hands
I would probably do away with these anomalies
Everybody checking for the new award nominees
Wars and atrocities, look at all the poverty

Tradition, in which the main attraction of living mainly focuses on the struggle and finding new horizons with each passing day more and more loses the credit. The bourgeoisie seeks not excitement, but peace, light and understanding and all around good popechenija. In religion he is claiming that God, without any on his part of the effort, motu proprio sent his angels to protect him. In the case of science, he appreciates only applied knowledge, blatantly ignoring all the preparatory theoretical work and providing the researchers of truth to find it at your own risk. <...> In fiction he was an opponent of any psychological complications and tests and requires the author, that he, without abstract language, but with perhaps a great variety of "special signs", explained to him what a body has the heroine of the novel, with whom and when and under what circumstances she made the first, the second and subsequent adultery, which was every time dress, forced himself to beg or give up without talking <...>. Even in their romantic enterprises, he does not tolerate confusion and extra clothes, and insists that everything was done in usual, with no delay time... now!
Quote Explanation: proprio motu - on their own initiative.

Consumer happiness was exposed by the rebellion of the sixties, as life in which the individual may to lose. A way of making consumers happy is the house that faces the car, and, at the same time, and the feeling of spiritual emptiness, which comes from the observance of principles that ceased to be a matter of faith. The danger posed by the consumer's happiness is a threat to live his own life. Therefore, "consumer happiness" has little to do with actual happiness.

The use of the right to "be yourself" has manifested itself, among other things, that alternative styles of life has ceased to be destiny of the Bohemian and lumpen-proletariat. Lifestyle Bohemians of the twenties and thirties were crucial for the morality of individualism in the sense that a life of poverty ceased to be shameful. Aristocratic vanity, and especially Puritan self-discipline and pragmatism, was severely condemned for the dullness of strictly defined existence - spiritual poverty and a heroic orientation of the normal extravagance. Actually, with this vital position and there was an "attack" of culture on social structure. The meaning of the right to be oneself in a new environment completely defined the counterculture of the sixties. The idea of "be yourself", primarily meant self-liberation from "traditional life" and, mainly, the rejection of the usual, interpreted as violent notions about success and ideas of the heroic, but quiet and happy life.

As reminded in the time of S. Zizek, "the noble struggle for freedom and justice turned into a struggle for the right to eat bananas and watch porn".

You're really fighting for, or ninety-nine percent
Just shake the air?
And look, you're wrong if
Don't see what you dropped, the proportion is much better than most.
And you can stand around, snapping at power,
After all, we still have a democracy, which means
What can you tell about how you feel
And they can't put you under lock and key.
So many people just disappeared, so many people live in fear.
But know that here man, your mind is the enemy.
So many missed opportunities in the land of plenty.
There are so many abandoned cats, tired souls, that's getting tempting
To let things slide, make fate the fall guy.
And to join those who were able to do something, but didn't.
You fight for the sake of it, or ninety nine percent
Just trying to make a shake of it
And yo you must be mistaking if you
Can't see your stake in it is greater than the vast majority
And you can stand there growling at authority
Cause we still got a democracy, and what that means
Is you can say what you feel
And they can't put you under lock and key
So many disappeared, so many lived in fear
But you know that here man, your brains the opponent
So many blown opportunities in the land of plenty
So many cats that let there souls run on empty it gets tempting
To let it all slide, make fate the fall guy
And join the could have been's.
