No. In this video a dude is explaining to you how your clothes are also being enshittified by capitalism and how marketing is covering it up.

Fast fashion.

Unconscious consumption in general. People are pouring crazy amounts of money into plastic garbage, "collectibles", general useless and unnecessary junk, lifestyle products etc. Then they defend it with a flippant "lol intrusive thoughts won UwU". I wouldn't even mind so much if it wasn't too often the case that these same people also complain about environmental issues and capitalism.

"but but i'm a magpie, I'm a loot goblin" is just normalizing the behavior, trying to make it cute. It's not. You're very directly contributing to the increasing waste problem in the world and giving money to megacorps (think plastic production in particular). If you absolutely must do this, find products made of natural materials, produced by real people. Yes, it'll cost more. Yes, that's the real price of your obsession.

Thanks for posting this. I'm really frustrated with how vulnerable people on Lemmy are to propaganda. The amount of upvotes on the post you responded to are just embarrassing. The post is exactly the same kind of bullshit cherry picking I see anti-trans people do.

I'm for Social Democracy.

Would be so nice if people would stop thinking that the whole diversity of human experience can be neatly fitted into a handful of categories.

Oh no, don't get wrong. Dems are only ever slightly better but I'd vote for Bernie if they, you know, did the whole actually-caring-about-~~voters~~-humans thing.

No, it's the Dems. Let me present you with a whole chart, manifesto and a dozen podcasts pulled fresh out of my ass.
