You can’t criticize people for buying unnecessary goods when you yourself are typing said criticisms on a device made with child exploitation

idk i think having a phone is pretty necessary for alot of peoples work, school, social connections and even safety. i feel like you can still criticize overconsumption and own a smart phone. no idea what the og post is referring to though

lets not. im basically fucking required to have this phone to live and i did not choose that. what we DO get to choose is how much useless shit we buy and toss every day. this is the type of rhetoric that makes people not put in ANY effort bc no option is a good one, and the earth cannot sustain that. something is better than nothing bc the climate situation is very very dire rn. i cannot believe we keep letting woke wars get in the way of progress.

oop here & I wasn’t even criticizing ppl who already have certain items of luxury/overindulgence. I was criticizing the idolization of things like a mansion, a Cadillac SUV, designer purses, shoes, a black Amex card, wads of cash, Starbucks etc by saying they’re working hard bc those items contribute to their “dream life”. I just found the whole visionboard incredibly materialistic, vain & surprised it got so many upvotes The comparison is bs bc I don’t have a visionboard of my dream iPhone

Like you said, you basically need a smartphone for any job 😭 it’s not comparable at all to the worship of luxury items
