>Because our markets encourage it. It's easier and more profitable to sell short term and quickly fading highs/experiences. However in order to get people to buy into it en masse they must be conditioned to seek immediate pleasure over delayed gratification. So we see it everywhere in our culture.
>There isn't a great evil conspiracy to destroy the West. It's simply greed and profiteering. For the same reasons we see globalism and the global elite pushing a dissolution of borders, nations, races and family values. If people can draw their identity from their extended family ( their nation ) then they won't be purchasing as much as or with as much fervor as those who base their identities off their patterns of consumption ( style of clothes, music they like etc ).
>It's why we see a push to weaken family bonds, destroy the concept of belonging to a nation and create one mixed race. Meaningful identity is poor for the bottom line.
This all deserves repeating.
