I'll grant you it's
a new religion, but not
the new religion. having a consumer price index tells you who the real god is in this country. Shopping will always be the official religion of the USA, with mindless media consumption coming in second. As long as people can shop and watch shit on TV we will never have a revolution in this country. Ever.
Politics is dependent on media, at best it's a cult or a religious splinter group.
