Do you do everything based on your identity? For instance, when shopping you pick puma shoes because you're a cat furry, or you research the tailor and designer and only pick pro-queer apparel with creators you support?I never research anything. Capitalism is a scam to divide and conquer us. Everyone selling are business sharks shekelling us and filling the pockets of the business folks supporting their icons. Is it just americans who are built by the brands they use as their identity? Are you anti-consumerist? Where should the line be drawn?
>>43881148I just buy whats needed most of the time
>>43881148im american, and saw other boys wearing puma and under armour and arguing with each other and i specifically avoided brands from then on forever, i never understood it. but, ultimately, i do follow online subcultures and shit so i geuss thats a brand? im not terribly materialist either, i supposebeit. why the fuck did i type that. im going to bed
>>43881148>>43881175goodwill is my preferred brand
>>43881148yes. i identify as broke, so i buy my shoes at aldi for $20if you want a more serious answer, i boycott companies regularly based on ethical and self-preservation motives. i would never eat at chic-filet or cracker barrel because they would kill me given the chance. i dont eat at macdonalds because the food is toxic and that will kill me given the chance. i dont buy cadbury or nestle because it's shit and they do child labour. i submit junk data in google surveys for similar reasons
I am so used to these 2 crazy bitches at work. They will start barking at anyone who doesn't wear the symbols they deem fit and appropriate for their cultural values. Then they will start getting up in everyone's shit and make sure they buy the latest meme shit they think symbolizes their beliefs all day.They think they're doing justice and supporting the community; but, in fact they're fat twitter nigga stacies that cant control temptations...
I research the highest quality but still affordable chinese shit and then buy that, most reliable goods I've ever bought.
>>43881148i am entirely unshackled from the chains of the ego. i am extremely unpredictable and have a reputation among my friends for being genuinely insane.
I love capitalism and sincerely believe that shooting communists on the spot is an absolute necessity for the moral progress of civilization. Human rights should be restricted only to humans, and therefore communists, feminists and islamists, individuals who choose to be subhuman, should be treated as such and hunted for sport.With that said, capitalism in itself is great precisely because it doesn't come with moralizing. You don't have to buy the consoomerist shit. Capitalism simply allocates resources better (though by no means perfectly, just way better than all other options) in accordance to what the goycattle wants. In doing so, capitalism also is by far the friendliest system for ANY niche (even for subhuman commie scum, unfortunately).Anyway, to answer the question, no, i dont do that. I have a life to live. I buy what i need or what i think would be useful in some way to myself. I only care if the company has any ties to the CCP or any communist movement. Otherwise, idgaf. In fact I prefer companies that do exploitative child labor in the third world. their products are better and cheaper and their practices make the world a better place by shortening the lifespans of shitskins.Nearly everyone agrees with me but they're afraid to say it out loud. "ethical consumerism" is a retarded joke for turboautists
>>43881532you're literally an hrt femboy
>>43882148yes. and it's thanks to capitalism that i can be an hrt femboy.under communism hrt is either not allowed at all (most common) or heavily gatekept only for whom the state decides can access it (as it was in DDR). heck, most communist societies irl criminalized even being a normal faggot, let alone an estrogenized one.
