People have been effectively consumerized. They don't care squat about anything besides owning an SUV and a cell phone, or the hope of getting to the point where they can.
Look at the posts in here bragging about the hardware specs of the overblown PC they dropped a wad of cash on, yet they don't even have a use for the lowest-spec machine. So they play games on it.
It is all about the rich subjugating the working classes and enticing the last bit of wealth out of the system at large, and into their own pockets.
The system goes on until the economic balance reached during the last few hundred years is reduced back to a feudal society like the U.S.'s Old South, Europe's glory days of monarchy, Russia's Tsarist era, India's subjugation by the Guptas, Raiputs, and later of course the Britsh, and other parts of the world under various Imperial regimes.
Consumerism is the mechanism by which people are drained of both their assets and their political will today.
