Consumerism is killing us like drug addicts

The work is inspired by William S. Burroughs insight: “What does the money machine eat? It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty and above all it eats creativity. It eats quality and shits out quantity.”
It’s common knowledge that we live in a culture of consumerism, but few people can grasp the full extent of the problems it causes or the effects that it has on our daily lives.

In corporate media - not to mention bias towards dominant neoliberal ideology - most of the content filtered by editorial is usually chosen to please the advertisers. Commercial messages affect how we are entertained, informed and even educated.
“The term ‘consumerism’ does not simply refer to immediate factors in our daily lives such as the omnipresence of advertising, but anything connected to the overarching idea that in order to be happier and more successful we need to have more stuff.”
If you don't behave , i'll make mincemeat out of you.
