Genuinely Think We Should All Just Cut Back On The Things We Buy, Particularly Commodities. Yes Ideally

Genuinely think we should all just cut back on the things we buy, particularly commodities. Yes ideally we would all grow on own food, make our own clothes, build our own homes, etc. but a lot of us simply aren’t at that point and I think a stepping stone for that is simply buying less things we don’t need. I’m not saying you can never have a venti mocha latte or buy a new candle again. Just maybe we should try to break away from our ingrained and insatiable consumerist impulses and start doing less of that so that we, both as individuals and as a society, can eventually get to the point where can outright stop purchasing commodities especially those created from exploited labor etc. We have to break ourselves of our consumerist behaviors and mindsets if we can ever hope to destroy capitalism and build something better. And in fact buying less things feeding the capitalist system plants the seeds of revolution and is itself an act of resistance. I know that sentiment might sound silly but I mean hell that’s why boycotts work.

Help Jack Move, organized by Jack Lewis

Hi everyone, my name's Jack; unfortunately, I am being kicked out of my house by my father, and I'm going t… Jack Lewis needs your support

hi, so, y'all know me. uhm, my dad's kicking me out; he hasn't given me a notice period, so I don't know if I have hours, days or what. all I know is that me and my animals HAVE to go, and we need money to do so. I set the goal for £3000, only because that amount of money would cover a deposit on a flat, maybe a couple of months of rent, and also likely necessities that we may need such as food, vet bills, etc.

any and every donation is MORE than appreciated, really, and thank you to everyone who supports by sharing and spreading the word 🫶🏻🫶🏻
