3. We took all the humanity out of society and replaced it with soulless name brands.

There's no such thing as "mom and pop" anymore. Not a second of the day goes by where you don't see ads for giant mega corporations like Geico, Progressive, Apple, Capitol One, State Farm, McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut, I could go on and on and on. Where we used to have an off switch for this shit, now we don't. And not having the off switch is what is turning society crazy.

Yeah it's not the lack of religion in society as people like Barr and Pompeo would have you believe. It's that giant corporations and relentless corporate greed are the religion. To quote the late great George Carlin - "They call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it".
