I saw that people are buying $150 or $250 sockbags for their iphone. They also are buying $30 glass cups from Starbucks. Can people accept that the customer is a major part of the problem?

    Are… are you high? “Consumerism” and “capitalism” are completely different terms, used in completely different contexts. And I have never once heard someone use “consumerism” in a positive light. This is conspiracy bullshit

      It’s not positive, that’s right. It’s a way to shift the blame away from the owning class.
