The consumption is the point. They just want candy not a meal. They want fucking marvelslop not Cinema.
Inb4 let people enjoy things, the mindset on display is a perfect member of capitalist society. A mindless consumption machine.

I never understood it. I consume crap sometimes the same way I eat McDonald’s sometimes, I suppose because I’m poor and sometimes I’m also weak and depressed and lazy, but it always makes me feel like shit afterwards. What’s going on with these people that pursue and process McDonald’s the same way they would a five star meal, metaphorically speaking? I dunno.
Probably McDonald’s is not the right metaphor. I’ve said it many times but I really think entertainment is the 21st century opium of the masses. It’s a way to tune out. But holy shit you would have to be a cynical, hopeless wretch to uncritically embrace it.
