I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.
You wrote out one of those two words. I don’t think they are comparable.
Probably because they’re were writing in English, where the meanings will be different. Which is kinda the point.
Because a) Germany doesn’t have this christian-magical-thinking the US have and b) it’s a term hardly anyone would use, but it’s indeed by far not comparable.
