How capitalism ate the culture

Kalle Lasn has been trying to jam consumer culture for decades. Now he thinks that was only the beginning. Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO Sean talks with the Adbusters founder about advertising, culture jamming, meme warfare, surveillance capitalism, and why he believes the old left-right political script is dead. Lasn argues that consumer culture is not just shallow or manipulative but part of a system pushing us toward collapse. His answer is bigger than protest and weirder than reform. He wants a cultural revolution that starts with new ideas, new language, and maybe an entirely new politics.
