Every culture has been exploited and we all either benefit knowingly or ignorantly consume.... Shame on all of us...

Well said.

We are the ones who fund our own demise and oppression.

We refuse to pay $1 extra for an organic pack of vegetables, from the local farm shop, which helps employ local people in a local company helping the local community, with any decisions being made on a local level. Instead we prefer to turn our backs on them and hand over our money to the faceless walmarts of the world for the "convenience", then complain when these corporations grow, killing off all competition, all locally owned businesses, and having a slave-like work mentality with very few job prospects in a town (fast food, or supermarket - take your pick)

Our money, and 'how' we spend it is the power. It has far more weight than voting, far more weight than demonstrations or freedom of speech

The one big flaw of Individualism is that people somehow happily accept that self-value is in any form connected to material gains.
