The addiction thing.

Fast Eddie Bernays sauce is full of hooks reaching out to touch velcromagnon wo/man loops for the "you complete me" & "you had me at hello" Jerry McGuire manifesto destiny / couch close.

And so convenient. No buttons or laces or zippers. "We'll have you out of & back into those garments in a jiffy."

Segmentation illusions. A few heads attached to millipede/estrial chainlink fences of stolen emptied of calories goods.

The obsolescence-fraud is planned & it is televised so it can't be a revolution ... of the gerbil-wheel.

Thanks, Andy, and apologies for the delayed response. You're right: it can't be a revolution if it's on TV. That's why the BLM/Antifa riots were the farthest conceivable things from a real revolution. Conversely: best thing about Trump rallies is that they'll never appear on corporate media...

Not ideologically. Only as a populist movement in opposition to the current power structure. By contrast, the BLM/Antifa riots were a violent extension of the power structure.

"A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's heaven for?" Robert Browning obviously wasn't thinking about advertising of marketing.

Thanks, Vonu. Very true. May explain why our entire universe is circumscribed by the size of the screens in our faces. Digital scale has made our worlds much smaller...
