Christmas is the festival of shit
Most of us live our day to day lives purely supported by incomes generated by our capacity to sell shit, buy shit, exchange shit, produce shit, distribute shit ... and ultimately talk shit. If we had to sell things of value - things that people either needed or wanted - 50% of the Western world would be totally unemployed.
Our lives and our incomes are now inextricably linked to shit.
And December is the season of shit; the time of the year when the advertising scum that skulk in the shadows goes into overdrive making you feel bad if you don’t buy shit from one group of people to give to another group of people. We are in the midst of that great shit ponzi scheme that starts in late November every year, and each year if we want to keep our jobs we just have to suck more and more people into schemes to buy more and more shit.
