The precarious existence of late modernity is truly tragic. Its foundational myths are promoted by the cultural industry as a liberating opportunity for a nomadic individual who is
a) a citizen of the world (that is, deprived of any real citizenship),
b) can live anywhere (that is, is deprived of a real home),
c) not rooted anywhere (that is, deprived of a chance to take root),
d) free from “oppressive” family bonds (i.e., lacking in resources to form a family),
e) has an open mind (that is, lacks his own cultural identity and, therefore, “is open” to all those ideas that the consumer system will want to impose on him).
