When you commodify all the people’s wants and needs, you commodify the people.

How do you fight against it?

My personal take:
No thanks! is the most powerful thing you can say. Don't engage, stop buying endless toys and distractions, build a local community, hang out with real people in reality, share stuff and be kind. Maybe blow up a pipeline too.

depends on where you live

When capitalism has commodified everything, then all ingrediences for a revolution can be bought.

All is capital.

Capital is all.

Oh i know so many people who are into vanity. Everything goes as long as there's no point in it.
