Everyday is buy nothing day. Then buy only thing you need is food. Clothing, shoes are my only purchase and those are used. Most expensive purchase are glasses which I keep for over 5 years. Stop with the consumerism -> ego -> hubris.
- mckn1ght 2y agoPfft, look at this one that _buys_ their food instead of growing/hunting/foraging it. Just another mindless sheep suckling at the teet of profit seeking corporations! And I’m sure you built whatever computer you typed your comment on from pure raw materials, and then programmed the OS yourself? These kinds of purity tests have absurd logical conclusions. Why not view people with a little compassion and grace? Look, I’m all on board with reducing consumerism but AFAICT you have plenty of ego and hubris of your own. (Hint: if you’re trying to control others, you have ego.)
- Loughla 2y agoIt's not about buying nothing, to me. It's about being aware of what you're buying to avoid extreme consumerism. If you literally don't buy anything at all, what do you do for fun and entertainment?
