When we talk about #consumerism my scarcity brought up me thinks “cute, they bought one too many cups that will never get used”. But I guess some people (cultures?) swim in objective cr*p they know won’t use. But somehow owning == happiness.

“An ice roller (I think for my face?)An e-reader remote (so I can click differently?)At least six pairs of leggings (for workouts I've never done)A suitcase (that broke within six months)An air fryer (…of course)So. Many. Candles.So. Much. Underwear.Every skincare product I’ve ever owned”

That trendy product everyone's talking about? Turns out 'The Stuff' is more about slick ads than a clear understanding of what's actually inside. Looks good, but what are we really consuming? #consumerism

Consumerism is more than shopping: buying can shape identity and status.

Ask: need, influence or pressure?

Watching the movie They Live and they need to re-release that movie in theaters it’s so relevant to everything going on in 2026

US consumers spend far more on things like clothing and home decor monthly than Indian consumers ever would. This difference in spending habits is a significant factor in the trade deficit. #consumerism #economics

Buy Nothing New Month: "Most gifts are unnecessary, come in wrapping that gets thrown away, bring momentary 'buzz' and are cool for a hot minute. Our happiness comes from experiences, and connections with friends, loved ones and our community." #finance #money #consumerism #sustainability

Turns out, the consumer doesn't have the resilience everyone talks about. The bulk of people are in the lower part of the K-curve, with limited disposable income. Those aren't the consumers with deep pockets. #economics #consumerism

A noticeable shift: people are becoming more intentional. They're asking what they're putting into their bodies, what products they use, and what choices support their lifestyle. This opens doors for companies that offer genuine value and build trust. #intentionality #consumerism

What does Snapchat want from your child? Snapchat's own website explains.....

Full sources and more at https://xodus.online/why/#consumerism

Graphic showing scared children being grabbed by a Snapchat arm, scrolling on a smartphone, with full shopping trolly of clothes and cosmetics, and being targeted with an arrow.
Text from Snapchat website:
    “Reach Gen Z and Millennials with Snapchat Ads – Snapchat reaches 90% of the 13-24 year old population and 75% of the 13-34 year old population in 25+ countries.”
    “People interact with their closest circle of family and friends on Snapchat more than any other social network, opening the app nearly 40 times a day. That enthusiasm means they’re ready and willing to discover your business.”
    “They’re More Receptive – When compared to watching the same ad on other platforms, people are 34% more likely to purchase products they see advertised on Snapchat — from businesses just like yours.”
    “Snapchat Ads Manager offers several options to reach your preferred audience.
        Standard Targeting: Select location and demographics including age, gender, language, and more.
        Lookalike audience: Based on your customer list or Pixel Custom Audience, Snapchat will find more people similar to your best customers.”

Can we thrive without all our stuff? What if our stuff is preventing us from experiencing real freedom and thriving?
