The postive frame

From false consciousness we derive pleasure in the real things as they are presented and as they are sold. From there we receive short bursts of happiness by design because we know what to expect from what we get. The idea of individuality slowly and surely washes away in a tidepool of toads fat from the swampy mess of everyday sale of self. Whores we are and whores we will always be in a world of corporate pimps who massage the stockholders with bundles and bundles of cash so they can have their golden parachutes and younger and younger wives. False consciousness means to have a value in what you are doing while at the same time thinking what you are doing is benefitting you when in reality you are not getting anything from it. What you are doing is living life for the benefit of other people who have much more juice than you do. This is why we are all whores. Advancement just means living on the second floor of the house instead of the first. You may have better shoes and more cash but you are still just a whore like the rest of us. Unless you are happy, you are growing older being unhappy and one day you will die unhappy fooling yourself the entire way through; but that is what whores do under the flag of false consciousness.
