“We buy things we don’t need

Let's be honest, the only country where you're free to live on your own in the first world is probably the usa.

Literally never done any of that.

what does that mean? You're not free to live on your own in France?

Consumerism has dramatically improved your lives regardless of origin, even Jow Forums is part of it.

If you don't like it go to the forest and learn survival skills like your beloved Ted

Not really. Having lots of stuff may be cool but having 30 kind of toilet paper is useless

Such shit could only be born in the head of a insane hohol.

This mostly applies to women desu. The entire economy would collapse if women didn’t waste money on useless expensive shit every month

>stimulation of economic growth and promotion of entrepreneurship
>more consumer choice and reduction of prices
>stimulation of tech development and improvement of living standards
The benefits are undeniable. A bit extreme but I wouldn't have a car or phone without it

Wow what an inspirational quote!

Nope. Try to have some cattle, sheeps, chickens on a property and see how it goes. You think that buying one in the backyard of the country will help you ? No my dear, you can't even construct a wooden house on your property if the city mayor doesn't give his autorisation and he has the ultimate choice on that. France is one of the least free country in the west, easily. One week ago a man has been charged guilty because he blocked migrants in the alps. 6 years in jail sentence, because he impeached migrants to cross the border. You know why ? Because the judge accused him and his fellows to act as police men when they weren't. Alongside the UK, orwellian hell holes.

6months*

It also lead to shittier product that broke after a week. I'm sure we'd have all that stuff anyway. Consumers are idiots that buy a new phone just because its new. This creates tons of garbage just to enrich Apple/Samsung

Well you can't go around to arrest people it seems normal t bh. I have cattle and I doubt in the USA is very different. Try to start a farm in a suburb and lets see if they let you. They have more space so less need for regulation probably.

Why don't they just save though? What's the point of living paycheck to paycheck? I have ~50K USD in the bank mostly tied up in long-term funds with only 7K for regular spending and 13K for emergencies. What do Americans do when they suddenly need an operation or pay for damages that insurance doesn't cover?

A small price to pay for it, plus further evidence of (albeit shitty) choice

>Well you can't go around to arrest people it seems normal t bh.
Arrest felons*. Bulgarians and hungarians can do it.
> I have cattle and I doubt in the USA is very different. Try to start a farm in a suburb and lets see if they let you. They have more space so less need for regulation probably
What cattle ? In France you can't without numerous autorisations provided by the state and public organisations. Laws are much more resteictive in France that's my point.

Fuck you kike

It's not something I envy them honestly. Next what vigilantes that look for drug addicts and thieves? That's the police job imo. Just some chickens ducks etc. I had cows and goats but I don't have enough time for that. Here if you're an "historical" farm you don't need a permit. Well probably laws are more restrictive but you're way more densily populated so it's normal imo. I remember those memes about housing associations forbidding vegetable gardens in the USA it's something that depends on how many neighbours you have probably.

Dumb Abeed

Alright don't blame me when you get fired from work next week, you broke the contract.

You like drug addicts and thieves ?
Also it's far from the initial point. The man did this in order to remember the police what's their job. Illegal immigrants aren't allowed, but if I want to establish a small cattle I can't because of the law. That's how natives are fucked, we're jeopardized and the others have all the rights. Homeless native can die in the street, but if you come as an asylum seeker you'd get education, an home and food for free. Coming back to the subject yes, I said it, you can live in your own in the us it depends where you are. I think that somewhere in northern dakota would be ok to live on your own without anyone to shit on your freedom not even the federal state, obviously I wasn't talking about Chicago suburban area. In France even in the asshole of Auvergne some administrative can, and probably will fuck with you. Freedom here is a myth.

>being butthurt over a shitposter defense of consumerism
Islambot or just another frustrated idiot?

Try making a single post without saying incel it’s doable

shitty black and white argument

Tyler wasn't meant to be correct although a lot of edgy people like to think so.

Narrator was pathetic but Tyler was chaotic. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

No but I don't like vigilantes either. It's the police job if they're not doing its a problem, but it doesn't mean normal citizen should take their place. Here if you're a refugee you have to pay for your integration if you don't have money they'll take your belongings or make you a loan. If you commit crimes or don't pay the loan you're out. Here I can't complain about the farmer situation those leeches basically live off gibs kek. But yeah I can understand sometimes the level of regulation is ridicoulus

Still a good one. What are you going to do spontaneously generate all of your modern necessities without any external assistance?

Because like 1/7 of the planet lives like that. Wasting resources is never good on the long run and we'll pay it somehow. I'm not saying we should have just 1 brand of everything but being braindead consumers isn't good either.

Consumerism is by definition not about necessities

Tyler was meant to be correct the director was a 90s edgelord who made the movie for other 90s edgelords

>(((movie star))) criticizes capitalism in a Hollywood film

I am not referring to mindless consumerism like phones, I am talking about basic purchases like homes, plumbing, food and even education. They've benefited from consumerism too

>france is basically north korea because I can't be a cowboy arresting people when I want to and because I need autorisations for having chickens

Go in debt. Most of this country is in debt despite low unemployment. You would be amazed, people here live as if nothing adverse will ever happen.

On a national scale it creates economic growth and improvement of living standards, it ultimately involves basic necessities

Found the urban dwelling pawn of the bureaucratic state. Shame on you, bot, shame on you.

Ok varg

Louis stp

Society will adapt either way. If an electronic store has to shut down they can find something else to do.

Our living standards haven't really improved since the 70's and that's when modern consumerism really started to kick in.

You're not french
