Meh, just more millenial slave mentality copium.

I understand being done with everything, but it’s no excuse to portray that attitude as some sort of victory

It’s not revolutionary to gaslight yourself out of your needs and wants, it’s just a way of giving up. “Consumerism” was just a word used by defeated late 20th century progressives to remove any association with anti-capitalist ideas that at the time were represented in the public consciousness by the increasingly uncouth and imperalist USSR, before green politics got flooded with anti-industry kooks.

EDIT:

You are being taken for all you are worth by the ultra-rich capitalist class and you will have nothing left and produce everything for them unless you learn some class consciousness. There is no shame in this, though.

But before even that - you need to admit to yourself the truth of your position, no good will come from delusion about present day - you should save that copium for moments when faith in the future wavers. There are many paths ahead, and only one backwards, the faith belongs in the former.

And yes of course, obviously because of internet context collapse some people in the comments below choose to interpret this in the simplistic black and white way because they can pose as witty intellectuals if they just respond to a strawman in their head instead of the argument.

It goes without saying - don’t buy random shit you see in ads, minimize ad exposure as much as you can which is simply accomplished with decent browser extensions like uBlock, sponsorblock, Dearrow etc.

Yes to this when juxtaposed against consumerism.

Also don’t feel bad that you need more than sun and air to fulfill your basic needs. It’s not a sin to enjoy a falafel.
