Mark Simpson Quotes on Consumerism (2 Quotes)

In males, narcissism is something that has been associated with immaturity. Classically, it's something men are supposed to abandon to become adult males. Today, consumerism tells all males that they never need abandon their narcissism. That they never need grow up. Just so long as they buy the right products.

Consumerism wants to make us as atomized as possiblebecause the more individualized we are the better consumers we are. This is why masculinity is so fragmented today and incoherentand irresponsible. It used to be the tradition. Literally passed down from father to son. But we live in a society where tradition stands in the way of profit. So bye-bye daddy.
