>>27679444>They're being convincedSpending your money does not always require propaganda or advertising. Sometimes people just want stuff.
>... to spend all their money on anime girlsNot my jam either, but how is this any different from spending your money on vidya or drugs or shitty movies from the 80s or whatever else?
>Using it for their own lifeTo do what? Houses are a quarter million dollars, all the cars on the market are supposed to be phased out in the next decade and the stonk market will cease to exist in my lifetime.
>Or to get a girlfriend for themselvesMore expensive, more abusive, and still the same amount of fulfillment or possibly less. You should die on this hill when male-led marriage and divorce shaming are a thing again.
>Who are making up an entirely fake persona that has no correspondence with realitySo... a group of people that includes politicians, clergy, world leaders, bankers, police and other emergency services, any talking head on the internet and even random working class people who put on a fake mask for their own general advancement and well-being in the public sphere? Altogether probably something like 97% of the whole human race? This is your problem?
Someone is going to have to build a world where honesty and hard work actually earn you something before any of this comes back in vogue, man. People are creatures of incentives - if there's no carrot, they simply aren't interested in bettering anything and there's no reason they should be, really.
