It's quite obvious for people who are aware enough how toxic consumer society can be towards people. Be it through the literal toxins in the food and water, the destruction of critical thinking in regular education or even how nasty social groups can be at times. I don't know about you guys but I live such an accelerated way of life that I give myself a time to relax with my usual vices once in a while.

However, I see this as a huge weakness that I have to get rid of. Despite how hostile society can be towards us, we still have to do whatever we can to improve ourselves everyday. A more natural way of hedonism will eventually come with effort and responsibility. Eventually allowing us to improve things for ourselves and others. BTW Speaking about this reminds me a lot of /u/Putin_loves_cats and his driking problem. Makes me wonder what he could be doing right now...
