it's all about YOU -- NOT!!!

This post already comments on Time Magazine's shameless pandering to -- to -- YOU -- in an abject act of pseudo-personalization -- that is naming the "person of the year" -- YOU, or else, nameless Internet User.

Yes, even though they tell us, it's all about you, you know it is all about the "THEM" -- those manufacturers of opinion who are now worried about eyeballs and readership...but lest we wax too Culture Industry sweeping in our criticism of this new elevation of "YOU" -- all we have to do is look at the instrumental populism that has pervaded left and right wing culture since the 1970s.

Instead of real economic justice or economic populism, we have cultural pandering to the discontented majority. Don't take this false currency for real stuff...demand real justice, not condescending flattery.
