Is this why me and my equally autistic partner are so decent with our money against statistical odds?
I mean i knew purchases for status where a thing but surely thats just the odd snobbish people right?
Comment on Android isn't cool with teenagers, and that's a big problem

Honestly, it’s a way bigger problem that kids are being indoctrinated into “keeping up with the Joneses” as such a young age.
We’ve officially made children part of the Conspicuous Consumption game and motherfucker, they don’t have money, it’s their parents money!
It’s sickening and will fuck their finances their whole lives if having the best iPhone is more important than being able to put food on your plate.
I’m way the fuck more worried about these kids indoctrinated into a Capitalist hell-hole more than I am about fucking Android.

So, they’re mindless image driven consumers who are going to bankrupt themselves and their parents to the point of starvation AND bring about the end of democracy because… of which phone they use?

Nothing is new here.
This isn’t that different from when I was a kid twenty years ago. Only instead of phones (though we all had phones back then too, even if they weren’t smart), it was game consoles, or Pokémon cards, or beanie babies or whatever.

Yeah I don’t know where this guy has been for the last 70 years but consumerism came for kids a long time ago.
