Chris Hedges: A Society of Captives

6. There IS a movement afoot to "deconsumerize"

A form of that was used by the protesters, in their "shut it down" actions where they showed up at stores in a mall, for example,
and the store people, seeing a herd of black faces coming at them, panicked and closed the stores.
Then there was the "Wal-Mart Black Friday " when the protesters, across the country, showed up en masse at Wal-Marts, resulting in the now viral pic of
National Guard men in Humvees guarding the entrance of the CLOSED Wal-Mart in Ferguson.
Yep....our tax dollars at work, paying for National Guards at a closed Wal-Mart.
