'Recreational' shopping is a big lie; shopping is not therapeutic, it is mindless and escapist.
Corporations want you to shop mindlessly, to want endlessly, to need more and more.
Nurture your anti-establishment attitudes and you will find yourself less addicted to the commodities produced by the corporations.
Free your spirit from false dreams of glamour and you will find yourself shopping less.
Christmas is a corporate disease posing as a spiritual holiday; buying corporate crap to express your spirituality is absurd.
Consumptive holidays are designed to turn human interactions into gifting transactions.
Intensify your political involvement and you will find yourself engaging more with fellow citizens and less with retail stores.
Never shop to cheer yourself up, this will ensure that you remain a miserable consumer for the rest of your life.
Empower yourself politically and revolt against a consumerist society bent on turning you into a shopaholic zombie.
Prohibit yourself from equating products with happiness and you'll finally experience a natural, non-consumerist, bliss.
Shopping as a pastime is the surest way to end up dead-broke.
Ads are designed to turn you into a selfish human being; stop thinking of you 'need' and start thinking of what the global village needs.
Buying things to show off is very ungratifying on the long run; reach out to others instead, organize, meet, mobilize.
Constantly find ways to buy less, to live more, to partake in activities that don't require consumption.
Corporations make trillions from your mindless addiction to shopping; build your community, not your wardrobe!
