Average Day of Western Citizen

Description

"If you want to understand a society, take a good look at the drugs it uses. And what can this tell you about American culture? Well, look at the drugs we use. Except for pharmaceutical poison, there are essentially only two drugs that Western civilisation tolerates:

Caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that your living in."

- Bill Hicks

This quote inspired me to put together the piece above, let me know what you think. w'Salaam ~ Peace

You get the point !

In fact, this poster could also fit for middle-eastern societies, where capitalism - this western poison that ruins our lives and the planet - has already spread well.

This is exactly what happens when people stop to be useful for each other, and start to be used by a system. Humans wasn't made for life without sense.


That's why drugs, consummation lure, self choice illusion and instrumentalized religions* work so well.


*Do not confuse notions :

- Faith : what each of us feels god's (whatever name we give it) truth in his/her heart.

- Religion deals with politics : the way that some of us turn faith in mass control. A possible complement for "Indoctrination" section of your chart.
