      I mean whatever I'm not even moved by that I've never in my life actually *met* a rich person who was a "minimalist" and I've met *plenty* of rich people who just have really big houses filled with all kinds of crap, as is traditional They piss me off a lot more

      The rich people adopting minimalism (like Batman merely adopting the dark, unlike Bane being born and raised in it etc.) are just trying to act like they're not rich The financial philosophy, such as it is, is "live like a poor person and you have more money left over"

      Which is certainly obnoxious and shallow, but it makes a certain logical sense, and ultimately I don't really care It's like getting super pissed at Trump for eating at McDonald's when "he can afford steak" So what

      It's part of the ideology behind 'crunch' and giving everything to the company is the thing

      Yeah see this is a kind of deep thing that speaks to something I do actually have strong feelings about That I fit a bunch of millennial stereotypes, and have no desire to change really, while other pundits of my generation want to decry these traits as damage and suffering

      I genuinely don't take much pleasure in my physical surroundings or in ownership of physical things I've never had the opportunity to own many things, and never developed the taste for it A lot of people talk about this as a grave injustice and harm and I'm... fine with it

      I was trained to be happy living in a tiny pod, and I *am* happy living in a tiny pod Having too much space freaks me out and upsets me You can fight the Boomers over the right to own a four-bedroom house if you want but I'm different

      I mean this cuts to some really deep stuff that goes much deeper than square footage and furniture I genuinely see myself being a drifter for the rest of my life, I don't want to be part of a physical community, I don't want to be a parent and raise kids

      These are all "millennial traits" based on "neoliberal atomization" that people want to rally around as degeneration and harm

      Jacobin waxing lyrical about how Family is the greatest true joy the capitalists have stolen from us That the modern world took away the bucolic village where we could all be happy And I feel alienated by all this rhetoric Like, seriously pissed off by it

      It's not the most important thing in the world and so I don't bring it up that often but I mean the "childfree" part is the most important part that's had the most impact on my life, but it's all one thing I think

          I've been fighting really hard to say "Maybe the way I am is the result of trauma but the way I am is still okay and doesn't have to change" Maybe "they" trained me to be happy being a couch potato addicted to screens but hey that's who I am

          OMG I love this thread so much! I'm currently buying a house (lucky to live in a place where that's possible on a middling wage) and I hate it. Only doing it for 2 reasons: 1) because it's the cheapest way to live alone (only way I can afford to funnily enough)

          I mean I'm also a drifter and loner with no family but like I'm mostly talking about the expectation we push ourselves constantly past our limits and have no security or comfort
