Like all great myths that respect themselves, the myth of "consumption" has its tribute and its counterargument: the laudatory discourse on abundance is accompanied by a "critical" counterargument, grim and moralistic, regarding the evils of consumer society and the tragic outcome to which it will undoubtedly lead our civilization.
The magic of our society is white, the heresy within abundance is no longer feasible. It is the protective whiteness of a satiated society, a society without vertigo and without history, without any myth other than itself.
