It’s such a pity Consumerism is always seen in negative connotation based on the outliers when it does so much good for the world! It’s the single biggest reason for growth in Africa and when kept in check builds free markets for so many amazing opportunities for a vibrant and sustainable life! Your current life is built on the life of consumerism of those before you and those around you!
I think we focus too much on the outliers the ones who are flashy even when they are in the minority! It just seems more prevalent because of social media and main stream media.
In my family on my fathers side especially it’s the opposite they love to brag about how hard they have it, everyone’s hardships are also a competition and it’s equally obnoxious!
It’s really the person tainting the concept rather than the concept being inherently malicious
