How do so many proles in places like pic rel(read the filename) spend everyday walking down the same streets with the same sets of advertisements posted everyday with buissnesses and factories running rampant polluting the atmosphere all while consumerism and government corruption rain supreme all for the purpose of manipulating the civilians in these cities into living a life of never ending hedonistic consumption coupled with actual wage slavery.

I don't think most proles walk through Times Square everyday. Most locals seem to avoid it because of the crowds of tourists. But I went there once and it was totally surreal.

The rest of Manhattan didn't feel like that so much. It's not like there are big video billboards everywhere. A lot of the neighborhoods in Manhattan are really nice and don't feel so tacky, more tending toward the wealthy, and I'm probably more exposed to billboards and so on driving down the highway in Texas than walking through Manhattan.

1. Not every single prole goes through times square
2. Times Square is a major commercial intersection, tourist destination, entertainment center. It makes sense that it'd have as many adds, flashing lights and promoting consumerism to see shows etc. Given that the USA is a capitalist oligarchy, i don't really see a point to your moral outrage OP. If you went on YouTube you'd get constant displays of products, ads, etc. both before and during the videos you watch. It's nothing new.
3. It's the spectacle anon. Most of our human interactions are replicated through our consumerist lense and because we don't want to be seen as outcasts half the time, we wind up regurgitating phrases from pop culture and ads.

>If I had to live in New York city for even a week I'd likely kill myself…

What do you mean "shell?" What I can say, having visited New York City, is there are not so many weak or lazy people there. It's difficult to survive there by being lazy or weak. If you see some of the live entertainment and so on, the people seem a bit more talented than in other places. Because you have to put some extra effort into it if you want to impress people.

You can't just coast along unless you're already filthy rich.

We don't have that stereotype in America. Our urban/rural divide stereotypes are more racial than about class.
Cities: poor blacks and latinos, liberal white PMC
Suburbs: conservative white middle class
Rural: poor conservative whites

These are just stereotypes and they are an extreme oversimplification. Local metropolitan news stations will often capitalize on the city being dangerous places full of poor minorities that want to hurt middle class whites from the suburbs, it's great for ratings.

>The shortcoming of the American landscape is not so much the absence of historical memories, as romantic illusion would have it, but that it bears no traces of the human hand. This applies to the lack of arable land, the uncultivated woods often no higher than scrub, and above all the roads. Those roads are always inserted directly into the landscape, and the more impressively smooth and broad they are, the more unrelated and violent their gleaming tracks appear against their wild, overgrown surroundings. They are expressionless. Just as they know no marks of foot or wheel, no soft paths along their edges as a transition to the vegetation, no trials leading off into the valley, so they are without the mild, soothing, un-angular quality of things that have felt the touch of hands or their immediate implements. It is as if no one had ever passed a hand over the landscape’s hair. It is uncomforted and comfortless, and it is perceived in a corresponding way. For what the hurrying eye has seen merely from the car it can not retain, and the vanishing landscape leaves no more traces behind than it bears upon itself.

Soon we'll cut south and head into Louisiana before reaching Shreveport with its beautiful casinos, neo-Nazi skinheads, and the nearby Barksdale Air Force Base, home of the 2nd Bomb Wing and its enormously loud nuclear-armed bombers flying in and out all the time. I love rural America.

Another thing that's great about rural America are all the prisons. This is one of the rural sights I love the most: sprawling facilities of guard towers and razor wire holding the world's largest prison population in both absolute and per capita numbers, more people – around six million – than were incarcerated in Stalin's GULAGs.

Along with a whole horrible industry around it staffed by local fascist pigs because they're the only jobs available anymore for them. Not making anything. Not producing any new value. Just living off the tit of the state as it locks up its own people by the millions in rural concentration camps. Lenin called the Russian Empire the Prison House of Nations and I think the description might apply even more to the United $nakkke$ today.

You never become "immune" to ads because ads don't work that way. Advertisers know that you get frustrated everytime you see an ad, but they also know that you quickly "forget" it and relegate the ad to your subconscious. Later on, when you have to make a choice about a product, you get a "hunch" that a certain product is good. That "hunch" was created by subconscious advertising influences. The reason why ads are so flashy and annoying is to get you to just glance at it for a second.
