YES! I've been oddly furious over the last week about this phenomenon - the comparisons to Jordan Peterson are particularly grating. Could it be just as simple as people feel guilty that they don't want to get rid of their stuff and lash out?

Space was a massive thing in my head! I’m like, most of us live in cramped tiny flats? And have to move constantly because of the millennial hellscape we live in? Congrats if you can afford to transport all of your books across the country but don’t act superior about it?
