    Young people are fed up with the world where words have no meaning anymore. These “genius marketing tactics” are bullshit and only work when there’s material incentive underneath.

    Money only has power when it can buy stuff. A Suit only has power if putting it on makes others fear you.

    But nothing seems to matter anymore, you make for the sake of making stuff and consume for consumptions sake. The generations that came before it live in a world where words still had meaning and they’re used to it, they see a “Sale” sign and rush to grab that offer even though it’s literally just 1 cent off, but they don’t think about it. What’s even the point of sales if it happens every day? And that’s just a tiny example.

    Human beings live for more than maintaining their biological functions and their nature is shaped by the world surrounding them. The more your nature develops the harder it is to change, because it requires moving down the big mountain you were trying to climb on and starting from the bottom again, of course it won’t be the same as first time and this time will be much quicker, because you still have all the experience from failure. This is where liberalism offers you a bribe to just lie flat and consume, it’s really genius, as long as you don’t think about who’s working to provide the bribes. It’s like UBI, it sound good, as long as you don’t think about where is this money coming from.

    Just don’t think it. It’s a simple solution to everything, but it won’t be the answer.
