Submerge
“God forbid that the day should ever come when, in the American mind, the thought of man as a 'consumer' shall submerge the old American thought of man as a creature of God, endowed with 'unalienable rights'.”
-Benjamin Harrison,
as quoted in "The Status of Annexed Territory and of its Free Civilized Inhabitants", North American Review, Vol. 172, No. 530 (January 1901)
