I find the bias against consumerism refreshing, since all you ever get is bias in favour of it. The countless adverts and commercials you absorb every day are all forms of propaganda promoting consumerism. Its sad that so many people (this isn't aimed at you by the way) discard programs such as this, or anything that contradicts consumer capitalism as propaganda without seeming to realise the vast amount of propaganda they do absorb without even noticing.

Adam Smith was such a fucking asshole. The myth of individualism (meritorcacy) is what is enslaving us ALL to the capitalist elites. I hate it when ppl say "I'm an indiviual"...well YES WE ALL ARE. HOWEVER the institutional structures, social barriers, economic exclusiveness keeps us incapable of truely expressing ourselves! Consumerism is such a DIS-traction to the real issues. It is so sad how must of us are so in denial. WAKE UP PPL. We are killing the planet, each other for peanuts!

@missaquaboogie Adam Smith was misappropriated. What I mean to say is that he said a lot more than what people claimed he did. You really should hate Bastiat, Senior, Say (and Say's Law) most utilitarians (except JS Mill) and neoclassical economists.
