This is a generic term that means “sticks,” pieces or items.
Nazis used the word to refer to Jews, “Stuck Juden” as a way to depersonalize and dehumanize them.
In the modern day, the internet has depersonalized and dehumanized all of us, every day, in every way. The web has spawned a whole new level of illiteracy by which the power- elites regularly, in full view, refer to human beings as “junk,” objects, nothing more.
- Wall Street calls us “investors,” and we’re nothing but statistics to them
- Business calls us “consumers,” and they care nothing about the quality of our lives, just how to coerce us into spending more for sub-par merchandise
- Washington calls us “average Americans” knowing full well that statistical label is so heavily weighted by minorities as to virtually exclude whites
Politicians don’t talk to people anymore. They speak to the polls. Wall Street has hundreds of surveys, too. They use these to gauge consumer confidence because consumers are 70% of the economy, and if we don’t keep buying stuff, the economy tanks.
Business sells us shirts made of material so thin it’s good for only one season, utensils that rust after two cycles in the dishwasher…
- Screws so flimsy the thread strips in anything but the softest fast growth softwoods
- Cars with fenders that collapse when you lean on them
- Laptops that die 30 seconds after the warranty expires
Can’t you see it? Businesses don’t care about loyalty anymore. There are so many customers out there in the buying universe,
it’s easier to blow you off than to satisfy you by fulfilling their own “money back guarantee.” That’s why Amazon.com is so popular – you have double the guarantee for all your purchases; if the seller reneges, Amazon.com has you covered.
Hitler said if a product was well made, you need no advertising at all. The product will sell itself.
The motto now is, it’s more profitable to have overpowering advertising than quality products. Planned obsolesce is all the rage in corporate boardrooms. The expiry date characteristic of women’s fashions has invaded men’s trends, teenage fashions, automobiles, houses, electronics – everything, everywhere.
We’ve become ruthless, mindless consuming machines. Advertisers use raw sex to sell so many products that we get more aroused by a beer bottle than a naked body – more excited to bite into a juicy McDonald’s burger than to treat your spouse to a candlelight dinner or your family to a weekend BBQ on the lake.
We’re hooked, line and sinker; just like a google-eyed, wide mouth bass fish tooling after a plastic worm with shiny bobbles.
