Global warming and destruction of the foundation of all human societies: the environment. It's the trick the devil is pulling on us and we keep falling for it.

Just seems like a natural reaction to markets. In ancient times things like cloths, dyes, and gems would have been valued.
>>
>>3239565
Yes, they do.
>>
>>3239460
More than that, it's an aspect of globalism that seeks to destroy borders and national cultures in order to create a global monoculture meaning you don't have to worry about "markets", cultural sensibilities, different tastes, etc. Creating a society of shallow people who desire only purchasing more stuff.
>>
>>3239590
Actually, corporations are extremely sensitive to different cultures and adjust the marketing campaign and even the product itself to the different countries. This is also not a very big issue to for example make a chocolate cream sweeter in one country, than the other.

I thought consumerism was the protection of consumer rights. When did it become "consume everything"?

Anyone else noticing this?

>>3239598
That's true, but inside the corporation it's generally a monoculture. Each of its tentacles adapts itself to the preferences of the localized orifice.

To separate people from God.

consumerism necessitates excess consumption of resources, and at a certain point, those resources just run out. the terminal extremum of consumerism, at least in an abstract sense, is when the only thing left in the biome is human beings and their waste products

At least the autists on the right actually have differing viewpoints and beliefs instead of just wanking over which dear leader gets to starve the populace to death.

Anything looks terrible if you compare it to an abstract utopia that only exists within the confines of your own mind.

Just look at how capitalism is characterized in the image (inequality, hierarchy, periodic crisis, war, etc..) All of these are universal constants that every system inherits, and says little about what conditions are like now, compared to other points in human history.
The last panel depicts communism as a Star-trek-esque Mary Sue-topia that has not inherited any of these things.

Do the people ITT even know what consumerism is? Most of these posts have nothing to do with the protection of the consumer.
