Your looking all this from a capitalist prospective, you'll never understand till you can see past that.
The world is capitalist and it's not changing anytime soon.
Meaning, whatever your ideology is, it's a waste of your and everyone elses time.
Adapt it to reality and push for smaller changes, a big one ain't happening.
Completely agreed, that's why there's no point playing. Just watch the slow motion, but accelerating, murder suicide of humanity and a lot of other innocent surface life, because we ain't changing. Best to see the gallows humor in it.

I suggest you read my comment again.
I'm not saying that the world won't change, just that there's no point trying to push for something like straight up socialism.
Push for socialized healthcare, then push for more social housing etc.
By applying the pressure in one spot, you might actually be able to achieve anything instead of just screaming at a computer monitor all your life
We buy shoes that last a few months. Cost penny's to make through sweat shops, for extortionate prices. Years old tech/iot that does little to actually improve our lives and end up as e-waste. Food that is killing us. Look at the next big film/game and look at the amount of money goes into marketing, and sadly most of those films/games turn out to be shit. Cars that lie about they're emissions.
Yet all these things are bought up due to marketing.
So while I know this won't die anytime soon, I am glad to be apart of the small percentage that see it as is.
You might be, I've had my shoes for years now.
If you're buying shitty shoes, that's on you and you're a part of the very problem you're complaining about.
If you're talking about we as in the people, do you think that somehow magically cutting marketing would get rid of shitty products? That's not how it works, maybe garbage like Supreme wouldn't exist but that's just a tiny piece of the pie
I was speaking in hyperbole.
3 years myself, I wear leather re-solable boots, but most people in my life like branded tac, they like the adverts as it shows them things they'd like to buy. Marketing allows products to be shit.
Also a lot of marketing isn't just showing a product. They're selling a lifestyle. Once someone buys into that type of persuasion it becomes a cult
