Since the end of the Second World War, the increased presence of mass media supported the promotion of the cultural elite doctrine. “Black Victim To Black Victor” Book by Adam B. Coleman. Rated 4 1/2 Stars on Amazon! “Adam B. Coleman puts his arm around the people he has lived amongst his whole life, providing them with honest and incredibly personal insight.”
My favorite of your articles so far. Much of my own writing centers on the proliferation of people following what they are TOLD they should like rather than what they DISCOVER that they like through life experience. Your focus here on consumerism is spot on, and the phenomenon extends to work habits, humanitarianism, and all politics really. Just like in the old saying, "the devil's greatest trick was convincing people that he doesn't exist" - the biggest irony about your observations is that while many in the consumer class are sheep, most don't even recognize that fact. Theirs are lives spent in blissful ignorance that their desires, tangible and otherwise, are of their own creation and are both important and righteous. Not until they choose the correct colored pill do they set themselves free. Great post. ZL
