I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.

    That word stands correct. To give you an example - Coca cola has been labeled #1 for the worst company when it comes to pollution however nothing being said about people who consumes and throw the plastic bottles wherever they feel like. A for profit company works on demand and forecast accordingly so consumers consume that shit and the company produces more to keep up with the demand. However people dont like getting blamed so they blame the company for not collecting their plastic and the company blames the government and it goes on. Hence the word consooomers
