Comment on Is capitalism or consumerism at fault?
RockBottom@feddit.org 1 day agoCapitalism’s rebranding as “consumerism” is reducing people to that one thing they do in order to not starve to death. Capital is a collectivist term (so disliked by the hegemon), while consumer is by nature very individualistic, like *CO2 footprint *and similar propaganda language.

Are… are you high? “Consumerism” and “capitalism” are completely different terms, used in completely different contexts. And I have never once heard someone use “consumerism” in a positive light. This is conspiracy bullshit

It’s not positive, that’s right. It’s a way to shift the blame away from the owning class.
