Hear me out on this one. I've come to find that the consumerist society that we live in, is a system that we cannot escape from. Every attempt that has been made to escape from consumerism is a way back to it. Every form of rebellion, resistance or critique on the consumer society that we live in can be commodified, marketed and sold back to us. It's not merely that capitalism/consumerism can do this, it must do this to survive. It's an elegant system that will never be broken.

Fascism, socialism, SJW, anarcho-primitivism, /pol/-tard philosophy, it's all been commericialized and sold back to us. There is no shock value anymore in things as gore or pornography, because the horrendous side of our human psyche has been marketed to us by algorhytms. We stare in a black void of numbness overstimulation.
Everything that once could be pure, can no longer be. Everything is a facade and every form of rebellion is actually a benefitial mutation to this soulless society we live in. Even this post is a mutation of consumerism, mutating for a group that has become skeptical of consumeristic society. This critique will be used against me. There is no out of this maze, the rabbit hole can only go deeper.

Are there philosophers that have come to the same conclusion? Or philsophers that thought radically otherwise? Should I take my meds?
