- TheSpiceIsLife 9y agoThat some people have been rejecting it since time immemorial doesn't mean those behaviours don't exist. What I'm disagreeing with is this: new doctrines of consumerism that is <snip> making us all willing to use each other (apparently) for our short-term jollies. It isn't the new doctrines of consumerism that are making us do this, it's human nature; we like to fuck. So your argument ... isn't one.
- vedloseper 9y agoThere's still worlds between liking to fuck and using each other like toys. Though consumerist attitudes may not be new, see e.g. that Latin dude talking about how the mind is a fire to be kindled, not a vessel to be filled.
