Consumerism will fuck up any revolution

Will people choose spectacles and consumerism over us when the moment will come? Why not?
Do people really want cultural junk to go?
Do people even know what is spectacle?
Are people even interested?
Should we trust people?
Is it ever even being tried?

I don't think so. It gets to a certain point where people will start realizing their Starbucks and iPhones aren't worth it. This aspect of our liberal society's lack of censorship is something that the "people" of our generation are taking advantage of. Although for the most part it boils down to "kids these days on their phones #retweet".
I know Holla Forums likes to mock the types of people who criticize consumerism with the "hm really makes you think" meme, but I'm not so skeptical. When the time comes, I'm willing to believe people are ready to sacrifice the things that are supposed to give them comfort in spite of our addiction to them.
Don't get me wrong. I think communism today is very unlikely, but I never felt like "consumerism" was any real obstacle.

I dunno but I wonder why the 4º season of Black Mirror is taking so long to launch.

People fill up the emptiness of their lives with those. Give them meaningful things to do, things that actually matter to them and represent something, you'll see those terrible mobile games disappear over a year.

where are those pics from OP?

civilization is a collective illusion, 'the moment' is the shattering of this illusion with the breakdown of logistics. People will have to worry more about living. This entails openings of possibilities of various communes/communisms.

I assume most people don't perceive the spectacle as Debord did. They obviously know something is amiss but the effort and having to understand their situation (especially for burgers) is too much. It challenges everything about our lives and ways of being.

Trusting people…hard to say. Especially the hungry, needy people thrown out to rot in the collapse of civ. Trust your friends. Burgerland is cut-throat (both in business and on the street) and I can't fathom how wild it will be in the future.

What did Brooker mean by this?

But really this episode is probably the best representation of the endless grind of wage-slavery, the commodification of everything, and the Spectacle to keep you distracted. But to answer your question, no, I don't think people will choose consumerism when shit gets bad enough. It works by keeping people distracted of the bigger picture, but it can't work if the bigger picture is in their face right now and they can't ignore it.

If you didn't feel like shit after, you don't have a heart
