with only mild exaggeration, if you want to isolate true evil in the economic structure of modern societies, its the advertising clan

they are experts in manipulation, triggering base instincts, creating addictions and insatiable demand

think e.g., fashion: the ritualistic churning of clothes every season because "you must"

once they got their hands on tech the dehumanization and mass abuse was inevitable
