    i don’t know why people need to shame each other for succumbing to the desire to Purchase when our entire society is designed to encourage it

      While at the same time telling us to stop buying daily coffees and making avocado toast. Just another way to fuck us up.

      It’s not so much trying to shame, it’s more like when one moth is telling his friend the other moth not to go into the light.

        There is a ton of shaming done. Politicians, ceos, newspaper headlines bitching about how no one wants to work, how people need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, how a major economic depression with 50% joblessness will teach workers to appreciate their jobs and their bosses more.
