Business As Usual
You’re doing just exactly what the Man wants you to do
Buy his goods, so you’ll never have any real economic freedom
He wants you to buy everything he- he advertises on TV
So he’ll keep you perpetually owing your soul to the company store
You’re not free, you’re a slave!"
- Brockhampton
These images represent how society in its modern state portrays the ideal future as one where one is simply another faceless business person in a world of greed and competition. So many of us fall victim to this vision, to the extent where isolation becomes an incredibly prevalent issue. We are but a facet of the overarching business oriented perception. To escape this paradigm, we must burn down this simulacrum of success and emenance, and hold a match to the semiotics of mercantilism.
