Fearmongering helps consumerism.
Fearmongering is endorsed by corporations through the media.
Corporations profit from consumerism.
Unless you're fighting the good fight and have some form of political power and economical power, unplug from the major news sites and invest in living a healthier lifestyle. Recycle, vote for the right politicians, do your part in helping your community. We've been living a lie.
Fear mongering does, in fact, not promote consumerism. Consumption that benefits companies is born out of comfortability and stability. When fear becomes widespread, markets start crashing. People no longer buy expensive luxuries, investors drop their interests in favour for short-term easy-access resources. If fear helped sell coca-cola, why do they instead make commercials of airheaded care-free teens on a beach?
