Communities are destroyed, entire countries even

That's just because china

The consumer culture is built upon china selling slave labour to the world crushing prices

There would be no consumer culture if shit cost money because it wasn't made by slaves

No, I was in croatia this year, the amount of coca cola adverts was just sickening.

China doesn't do that anymore @Der Weeb aus'm Dämonenturm

Well

America band them from doing it so all the industry moves over to Vietnam

This all started to happen long before Trump

Entire sections of the city I was in was dedicated to nothing but corporate advertising.

Also look at the obesity and diabetes rates, they have skyrocketed.

That's the effect of the warsaw pact collapsing

Coca Cola rushed in

As did many big companies

It was a brand new market for them, untapped, fresh.

It's only natural I suppose

They have been jealous of capitalism for 50 years

Ofc shit would sell like hot cake

The novelty of it, yeah

Whats the solution to capitalism without introducing a communist state?

Regulation?

That

And culture shift

Or culture is that of endless consumption

Throwaway technology, etc.

You can regulate capitalism you know

Stop buying it

That reminds me of that bird poop island where after their resources ran dry, they couldn't/didn't want to farm and today are obese cause they just import canned food

You don't have to have the companies run your country

Maybe reinvigorate the idea of community and family

That's not going to come back really

That was lost due to a decline in religion

Basically after the First World war

Well they just proxy religion with other things

Social politics and climate shit is the new religion people unite over

Just that the values are bad now

So we are kind of running out of alternatives

They don't form communities around it though

They do lel

You don't leave your doors unlocked and visit your neighbor, let your kids play in the street because you agree on climate change
