How does it feel to have your worth in society reduced to only that of a consumer?

Pretty fuckin' good anon! I bought 2 beef fillets yesterday and they were to die for.

it makes me feel important. i have no one in my life who values me besides faceless corporations.

Fuck yeah beef is good. But that's not my point!
The important function the common man has nowadays is not his work. It's only his buying power that gives him value to society. This irks me

Precisely what I'm getting at.
So many people without any feeling of contribution or like they make any difference to anyone. No wonder everyone is feeling like shit and are pissed off

Better than having no worth at all.
The consumer IS the product

It would be A-OK if I was permitted to elevate my self-worth by participating in my own culture and community but I'm white and that would make me (((literally Hitler))), so it feels like shit. My identity is a pastich of genuine identity, a patchwork of acceptable commercial cultural surrogates I've bought into, like Star Wars and Marvel Comics and Sports.
How does it feel to know that Generation Zyklon's defining works of speculative fiction aren't 1984 or Brave New World, but they Live! and the Matrix trilogy? When them niggas find out who broke the world, they are going to make 1939 look like Woodstock.
Feels better than being a peasant breaking my back on the mud farm
only place to avoid ads is in your sleep

I'm not sure what the alternative is? If I want to buy food, clothing, or shelter I'm a consumer by default aren't I?
