Yeah, the problem with being anticonsumption is that you are basing your personality off of being opposed to something. And the only people who want to bond over being opposed to things are miserable people who like being miserable.
Anticonsumption? Great! But what are you going to do??? If you make your own things, then that’s what you do. If you barter or buy used, that’s something you do. If you do fun things that dont require material resources, then that’s something you do. But if what you “do” is sit at home and not consume things while complaining about other people consuming things on the internet, then you aren’t a noble crusader for the environment (or whatever) - you’re a hater.
