Personal Interests and Consumerism

our 'personal interests as our 'lifestyle', each have a relevant industry within the system, which impulses our desires with symbols / pictures / words / sounds in television, movies, music, religion, magazines - providing us with a wide variety of 'choices' of ways to gratify our desires as 'personal interests' - which is consumerism

living only for our 'personal interests' as 'our lifestyle' supports abuse - because the industries exploit and abuse humans, nature and animals to produce the things we then buy to gratify our 'personal interests' -- with many industries competing to make the most profit off our desires - capitalizing on our 'personal interests' for a 'lifestyle'

many people say they support 'change' -- but react to and attack any proposed change that would threaten or change their current 'lifestyle' which is bought through consumerism

when 'who you are' is a personality defined by a lifestyle that must be maintained through continually participating in consumerism - which is self interest -- then EQUALITY is a threat to YOU as your personality and YOU as your lifestyle - and thus, you react and defend the current system which is you defending your personality

in an Equal Money System - the system will no longer exploit humans, animals, or nature to maintain industries which exist solely as consumerism to gratify people's desires to exist in their own personal bubble as a 'lifestyle' they they believe they 'chose'

See - you don't actually choose your lifestyle.
The way you participate in consumerism - the lifestyle you end up in, is based on your initial upbringing, education, and environmental influences which shaped the patterns of behavior / beliefs / self definitions / opinions that you then live out as your 'personality' which determines the nature and appearance of the lifestyle you assemble using money which you earned through finding a job that best suits your personality, level of education and behavioral patterns.
