Edward Louis Bernays
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays

Edward Louis Bernays (November 22, 1891 – March 9, 1995) was an Austrian-American pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda, referred to in his obituary as "the father of public relations".[1] He combined the ideas of Gustave Le Bon and Wilfred Trotter on crowd psychology with the psychoanalytical ideas of his uncle, Sigmund Freud.

He felt this manipulation was necessary in society, which he regarded as irrational and dangerous as a result of the 'herd instinct' that Trotter had described.[2] Adam Curtis's award-winning 2002 documentary for the BBC, The Century of the Self, pinpoints Bernays as the originator of modern public relations, and Bernays was named one of the 100 most influential Americans of the 20th century by Life magazine.[3]

An xbox is not a nice thing.
It's just a thing.

Where did we get this mentality that causes us to flaunt something we don't have for our peers?

Why is it part of hip hop culture?

Why do we perpetuate this idea that possessions equate success?

Lmao How yall be coming up with these smilies

Residual effect of slavery and having nothing. Slow process of turning men into females by aligning them with the same passions as women. All a demonic plot by the demonic realm, friend. Since you cant be a man, you mine as well become a woman, says the demons.

You should agree with the entire post because it is done on purpose. Its a result of someone, a human being, selling you a lifestyle and an image to turn you into a consumer, instead of a man whos trying to build something meaningful.
