Philosophy.com - Just More Mindless Consumption

You know, there was a time when I actually had some sort of hope for the future. I wanted to believe that our society was heading in the right place.
Needless to say, it hasn't, and websites like Philosophy.com just confirm this idea. It's really hard to think that some of our best thinkers from the past would support the idea of using their good name and ideology that's supposed better ourselves, to instead hawk cheap merchandise, from Wrinkle Cream that was made in a vat and doesn't work, to "Philosophy makeup, designed to simplify life".

These people are vermin and they're parasites, plain and simple. I found out about this from Slickdeals, of which I was a member for a brief period of time. I actually posted that its people like them that sicken me to no end, and got banned for it. Some nitwit even felt the need to throw out some stupid Nietzche quote that she probably googled, hard to believe that anyone who buys imported makeup has ever read a book in their life.
If you read that forum link I posted, you'll notice that 90% of the people commenting on it are women (I assume the other 10% have rich wives that love getting free shit and not working..)
Those idiots with one-hit wonder avatars of Paul Blart and Anime cartoons thrive on buying face wash and cleaner, but mostly just spend their entire existence debating over which coupon code works, so they can just order useless shit that doesn't mean a goddamn thing to anyone but them and their pointless lives. Seriously, I thought my life was fucked up, but it's actually doing pretty good when compared to slaves like them.

Seriously people, do you really think Aristotle was killed defending his beliefs just so years later some worm bought their good name and turned it into a shopping mall? Would Nietzsche have spent his entire life in controversy so you would have the privilege to spend your credit card to try and look 20 years younger?
Before George Carlin died, he had a lot to say about trash like these people who both run and support sites like that. Personally, I think we're all doomed. Evolution is VERY slow, and there will always be those trying to set mankind back.
