Heretic of the Modern Age

away with capitalistic free market enterprise where the concomitant features of greed, power and wealth fuse to form a pact of unrestrained mass-consumerism while simultaneously obliterating any shred of a humanistic ethic. the hollow emptiness of a hedonistic philosophy representative of the western civilization rings with the sound of falseness from the belfry of commodification. debunk the myth of the supremacy of man where the less sophisticated species remain in a role of subservience while religion upholds this point of view. the travesty of contemporary existence epitomized by the crass characteristics endemic in the advertisements prior to the advent of a holiday or sale. opinions about significant political issues and the general emotions toward the processes of life trivialized into a farcical sport by the producers of commercial goods. renounce the superficiality of the make-believe world and also the stamp of mass production that transforms a creative human being into an obsolete soul!
