Can a consumerist society survive without encouraging insecurity in people?
>>524370092A consumerist society relies heavily on continuous purchasing, which historically has been driven, at least in part, by fostering a sense of inadequacy or a need for improvement among consumers. This dynamic suggests a strong, perhaps necessary, link between consumerism and the encouragement of insecurity.
No, it cant. Capitalism convinces you that you have to buy a bunch of shit you dont need by creating fake problems and fake solutions. In a capitalist society the poor suffer most and are most likely to be killed or die prematurely, so the struggle to attain resources as a societal safety net literally becomes a struggle of life and death.

>>524370092it did in England.it was the USA which went all-in on preying on percieved insecurities and creating jealousy to drive product demand.Or service demand: look at USA comedians, TV, and movies in the 1980s and how they promote seeing a therapist (and "being on" mental health drugs) as something prestigious and special.

I hope a nigger burns her alive

>>524370398because they've been programmed since youth to trust media over their own experience
>>524370207Let’s be honest, there has not been a single good alternative. “Consumerism” is a fact of life. We need always need something. A demand will always pay to have it met, that is the nature of things and the sooner you retards understand this the easier it will be.
>>524370398>Why do American males (in particular) fall for the heightism and dick size propagandaWhat a jackass. Women say that shit. They literally won't date those guys.
>>524370398When I wear sneakers instead of flatter shoes that give better balance, women get all flirty with me everywhere. Because of 1.5 inches of height difference. Its actually insane how shallow american women are
>>524370092tranny
What does that schizo talk even mean
>>524371188bro, that's a plus. the 10% of women who won't date men based on that are superficial hgs you'd be miserable with.win for you.but 90% of women are not like that.don't be fooled by social media/meme bullshit
>>524371328upgrade the kind of women you're around and you won't have this problemsimple
>>524370398It's everywhere in Europe nowadays too, you're delusional.
No, that’s why Bernays invented public relations and marketing (aka propaganda). Industrialists feared a crisis of overproduction; that families would buy everything they need and then stop buying any more.
>>524370398>fall for the heightism and dick size propaganda>propaganda Least when it comes to height women by a strong majority refuse to date short guys, I know this as a 5'7" guy in his 30s now. Can't gaslight me out of this reality.
>>524370092i do not understand this screenshotwhat exactly am i looking at?am i getting too old?
>>524370207Thanks, LLM.
>>524370924This is only normalcy if you fail to recognize you were born into a world stripped of community and surrounded by a people who cant solve their own basic needs
>>524370924>A demand will always pay to have it metThis is a false statement
>>524370924Consumerism is a fairly recent phenomenon that is less than 100 years old. For most of human history the production of goods was done in mind with the idea that the things produced were necessary and would last a long time so that scarce resources could be optimally used. This is why anecdotally you'll notice that most old things were built to last while most new things were built with planned obsolescence in mind where they quickly become useless and need to be replaced with an newer 'thing' every year.
>>524370092>says no to the good guy>complainsThots shouldn't complain after saying no to the good guy and their moaning doesn't matter.Anything bad may happen to them and it's fine.
>>524370092No. It's a shit model that relies on psychological warfare and an increasingly disposable production line. As it fails the amount of waste, planned obsolescence and genuinely shit products goes through the roof. We're currently living through it. Clothing barely lasts a year now with light use, new vehicles are fucked after 5 years, most electronics fail within 2, tools made of chink pot metal. Everything to the landfill, but a new one, consooom.
