the culture industry is an insidious beast. it capitalizes our culture, removing its authenticity and autonomy, while at the same time convincing us that the path to happiness is through consumption of the culture that is being produced for us rather than in creating our own. commodities are fetishized, and desires can only be realized through trade.
consumption is an additiction, a 'surrogate religion' in the words of theodor adorno.
i need to go buy some clothing soon.
