So here we have Starkey not just hiding in plain sight, but playing strip tease. He tells us, directly, that he prefers a society based on greed, irresponsibility, consumption and vanity rather than a moral, well adjusted one run by adults which presumably he finds somewhat dull, preferring instead the excitement of urban spaces wrecked by gangs and the pain of the poor starving on the streets. He tries to put a spin on it, characterising selfish greed as cheeky 'misbehaviour', as though we can all be teenage dropouts in some bastion of privilege. It's the psychology of the adolescent. What he doesn't talk so much about is the conformity of corporate consumerism. You know, the abomination of the high school prom and the vulgar Stepford competition of the Essex WAG pool party, both imported from the US so we may follow their example of grooming the next generation of good little consumers, teaching them to compete for baubles like apes. He doesn't talk so much about the crass vulgarity of the Top Gear culture or gym bunnies primping and preening before the latest iPhone accessory. He is nothing more than a cheap salesman for the corporate state who would have us compete harder and deeper for evermore for more crap that we don't need and which won't make us happy, at the cost of the ecosystem upon which we depend, all to make more profit for The Man. Ultimately, he is of little further interest and has no greater depth than tawdry self-interest .
