Consumerism being the last available political act for everyone is pretty resonant.

I think this helps explain the ridiculous phenomena of video-game-activism that’s so vocal and present on the internet.

Yes and no. Yes, we’ve been stripped of our ability to protest in any real and meaningful way outside of “voting with our wallet”, but no because even then it’s a futile effort because these sinister people/corporations are so prevalent in our culture that we cannot escape funding them; either directly or indirectly.

Take Nestle, known evil corp that thinks water is a commodity and not a basic life right. Or General Mills, who recently drew the ire of everybody over their proposal to take away worker benefits. And I’m sure there are more that I’m not thinking of; that if you put them all together, would make people very hard pressed to buy the things they love.

John Waters is fantastic.

I saw that one with the gross lobster rape scene

Better yet, see a normal movie without giving a shit what anyone involved did in their personal lives.
