I can no longer participate in these consumer driven holidays.
This is not rebelling against family, or love.
This is taking a stand against the destructive desires of our capitalist masters.
I will no longer give them bonus checks, in the form of mindless consumer
consumption. Consumption is destroying the world.
Their products and clever marketing are the main reasons my aunt is dying of cancer.
The lifestyle we can afford is only what is allowed and predetermined by
the capitalist.
No more! I will serve them no more!
I will invent my own identity, my own way of expression, my own life.
I will use my life in a way created by me; I will educate people and advocate a truer way of life to destroy their institutions, their strangle-hold on the world.
We will create a meaningful life that comes from the people, for the people.
No one is free, unless we are all free.
