Modern man has the ambition of replacing with objects he buys what other ages hoped to obtain from methodical cultivation of the sentiments
Choose wisely
Why devote your life to junk?
There is more to life than consumption.
When what you want is meaning, why do you reach for things? Whenever you feel this lack of meaning and authentic identity, you reach out to grab anything to fill one of your holes; the hole in your life where your loyalties should be, the hole in your behavior where your honor should be, the hole in your future where family should be, the hole in your face, the hole in your or someone else’s nether regions; why have you made your days and nights all about compulsively filling holes? Why, when you could build something magnificent instead?
You are nothing but a gaping hole into which cheap junk from the rubbish market culture can be dumped from a trash truck! Straight into your starving gaping dislocated jaw! Like a soulless all-consuming freak from hell!
Endless consumption will not give you a life worth living.
What have they turned you into?
Our obsession with converting nature into things we can put into a box in a storage unit has only one logical conclusion – the entire earth converted into consumer products and waste piles, and agitated humans presiding over a strip-mined planet full of crumbling shopping malls.
Social trust is gone; our authentic identities, liquefied; national unity and community, destroyed – all traditional forms of meaning have been purposely collapsed one by one, leaving us only the evil triumvirate to turn to: Big Business, Mainstream Media, & Gigantic Government (all owned by the international Finance Capital banking system).
Our addiction to buying things on Monday & Tuesday, and things on Wednesday & Thursday, and things on Friday & Saturday & Sunday – it never ends – our addiction to hoarding junk is funding the very machine working tirelessly to alienate every one of us and dismantle our countries and slot us into their corrupt One World Government Banking Empire of useless, pathetic consumer drones. No sense of history and identity! No heroic destiny for your people! And not even a people to be a part of! Choose your corporate brand with which to walk alone, and be happy about it.
The only escape from the nightmare of our present condition is to rediscover what really matters. That which holds the greatest value has no possible price tag. Fulfilment can come only from the priceless – things which have existed for tens of thousands of years.
The cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Nature Vs Consumerism
It is a civilization which has destroyed the simplicity and repose of life; replaced its contentment, its poetry, its soft romance-dreams and visions with the money-fever, sordid ideals, vulgar ambitions, and the sleep which does not refresh; it has invented a thousand useless luxuries, and turned them into necessities; it has created a thousand vicious appetites and satisfies none of them; it has dethroned God and set up a shekel in His place.
Death by Consumption
SHIPPING JUNK
15 of the world’s biggest container ships emit as much pollution as all the world’s 760 million cars.

Africa Unstoppable
Africa’s population is set to quadruple over the next 80 years, from 1 to 4 billion.
Already, over half of the world’s population exists in China+India+Africa.
The logical conclusion of endless human growth is a world devoid of all other forms of nature. The world will be packed shoulder to shoulder with people like sardines in a tin, we will shout “We did it!”, and then the world will end.
Of course, avoiding having children of your own because of Africa’s population growth would be about the stupidest decision you could possibly make. No, that is not the solution.
China Belching
29% of all carbon emissions are from China.
If you are worried about CO2 (are you really?), you need to solve China. If China cannot be solved then “the CO2 crisis” cannot be solved.
At the very least, you could stop funding Chinese industry and African population growth – both Chinese pollution and African population will dominate the world.
P.S. CO2 is not a pollutant.
