On some level complaints about "consumerism" always feel like hatred for the poor, disgust at a society where the poor got enough clout you have to give them video games and Funko Pops to keep them happy and they aren't satisfied with bare minimum food and shelter

overconsumption happens far more in rich countries. You must hate the poor for suggesting to keep them distracted w/ low form of entertainment & overly processed food. Everybody deserves a good home, something that's increasingly unreachable cause real estate became financialised
