I bet your bedroom is filled with mass produced trinkets marketed to your taste specifically to make you feel unique and individualistic without even having to put effort into actually cultivating a true honest personality ...and that you would never give that fake bullshit up even given the opportunity to truly do everything you could to stop this.

don't get me wrong, that describes most of us... but some of us aren't in denial. and not being in denial of that fakeness will do more than any modern protest. because when people don't deny that, a true unadulterated critical mass builds for real honest actual change and only after that can the real "war" or "protest" begin.

I bet if given the chance to prove your real honest worth beyond materialism and consumerism you couldn't. after all Americans aren't taught or guided to actually be all they can be... they are taught to consume, to grow the American business. The new world mafia, a legal modern mafia.

There's real criminals, drug dealers, murders, that get treated with more respect by the American government than a lot of regular people... why? Because they give back to the economy more than the average lower or middle class American.

The real world is chaos, and if you cant ride that wave of chaos, than you aren't playing the same game as the people that own you and you will forever be played out and used. You need to be willing to sacrifice everything.
