Whether woke or deplorable, people all over the land are either buying things to own their perceived political enemies, or boycotting those things to also own those political enemies. Eat terrible pizza, punch your expensive coffee machine, arm yourself to the teeth, or buy french wine and then flush it down the toilet on video, to trigger the libs. Otherwise, buy a tote bag with a cumbersome slogan, get a safety pin box subscription, or post to a dying internet forum to Resist. This is now politics. Barely anyone knows how to acquire the means to engage with the political sphere. Since consumption and politics are now all about identity formation, it would only make sense to consume as politics. Post impotent acts of performative consumption to own others itt.

When you trick somebody into participating in a small-time fraud, its called a ‘scam. But when the scam is so big that people have no choice but to participate, it’s called ‘economics.’ Thanks to civilization and its division of labor, we now create more crap than anyone knows what to do with. The more crap civilization makes, the more we buy. The more we buy, the bigger civilization gets, allowing it to create still more crap. In other words, civilization grows like a cancer. You’d think that the more crap a society produces, the less work it needs from everyone. But rather than lightening everybody’s load, it just enables some people not to work at all. These lucky souls are known as the ‘Leisure Class’ The Hardest working and most creative people contribute the most to human survival… And yet, because we all aspire to be in the Leisure Class, we value the people who destroy the most and work the least. The Paradox of our economic system has placed us at odds with our own survival! We are locked in a state of moral confusion! It’s not that the Leisure Class isLAZY. They just feel they’re too important to do the boring work society actually needs. They feel driven to conquer, to recreate the world as a monument to themselves, whatever the cost to the rest of us. This Goes back to our hunter-gatherer days. Even though the gatherers provided far more food for the tribe… it was the HUNT we celebrated. it was the strongest hunter we trusted to rule the tribe, whether or not he was actually fit to lead. In a way, you could say that MEN were the world’s first leisure class.

You've got to wonder what the end game of all this is. Are we literally going to end up with 2 totally different 'spheres' of consumer branding, based on culture war bullshit? Deus ex invisible war was really terrible, but a weird little subplot it had involving the coffee shops was, like, on the loving money.

If you put ketchup and mustard on your hot dog you're only half wrong.

The conflict is entirely manufactured, both the drum up interest, and because it's impossible for any one coffee chain to fully capture the market. The franchise owners aren't even aware of it. The reason it's in the game, is that it's hinting at the one of the reveals of the main plot: that the two main factions you've been working for, the TWO and some stupid church thing, are actually both being run by the illuminati (who are basically a stand in for liberal capitalism).

rudatron posted:in that game, there's two competing coffee chains, queequegs and pequods. Their main difference is branding: queequegs is all about natural-organic-whatever, while pequods is pure modernist, efficient, luxury, etc. But this rivalry dips into more than just pure business competition.There's a couple of side missions where you work for one or the other, and you go and sabotage the other guy. Cutt-throat competition and all that. lol I like the subtle jab at Starbuck's with those names too
