Lmao, you think the bulk of human society is middle to upper class? No wonder your perspective is warped. You'd ignore those who can't just because some can.
Where did I say that the bulk of human society is middle to upper class? If you are poor enough that you can't eat meat, use airplanes, or use amazon to get junk shipped across the world you obviously don't contribute to over consumerism. The fact remains however that some hundred million to billion people are wealthy enough to contribute to over consumerism and they do. Without these people's spending habits these companies wouldn't be able to grow so much. Our consumption habits are the sugar that feeds the cancer. Stop feeding the cancer.
Exactly, yet you would sit here and preach to the lesser influence and to those under the boot rather than the producers. Fix your priorities and stop attacking those trying to survive rather than those exploiting even the people you say are "wealthy enough to do better".
I think you now get my point
Always did, but you still don't get mine because I wasn't the one with the deficiency in understanding.
and yet...
Yeah, and yet the deficiency remains.
don't worry
Why would I be worried about your obvious lack of capacity? Ain't my problem.
but you are fun
Of course I am, it's easy to entertain idiots.
self entertainment is a skill
You'd know.
