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.

      I think it’s very interesting to go back and look at those movies. Many words were used that are not allowed today. :)

      Even Seinfeld has jokes that would upset some people today.

      Early 00’s definitely used that term a lot, too. It sounds cringy now because it’s outdated.
