Nah, the minimalist lifestyle isn't about capitalism being evil or some shit like that, it's about not being a hoarder. Seriously how many things do you have in your house that you will never use?

Capitalism is fine; consumerism is a problem. It's the timeless economic problem of a nation of spenders vs. a nation of savers, although at least the US has been improving in this regard since the recession.

Dude x lmao
Retards act like this has any value as criticism.

Hey fuck you

>hey dude we're bland ugly white guys that have 0 creative aptitude or a successful social life so we cling onto consumer lifestyles
>yo but we're also sorta rich lmao
>lets throw out our stuff xD
>now we pretend we're happy and sell our book about throwing stuff out and make money hahah xDDD

fucking nu-males need to be gassed

>I'm Ryan! I'm a hugger man

Is not owning a lot of stuff in the first place acceptable?

>capitalism is great
>buying too many arbitrary cheap goods is not
pick one. also, if you want to bitch about people not saving, ask the treasury to stop devaluing the dollar. there's no point in saving if it's losing purchasing power.

40 years ago a house cost like 20 grand. now that same house is easily over 200.

Jej.

>capitalism is great
>buying too many arbitrary cheap goods is not
>pick one.
No? They're not mutually exclusive, and no one said anything about "arbitrarily cheap goods". Consumerism itself is a threat to capitalism and is fundamentally unsustainable.

DUDE WHITE KIDS THAT PAYED 50k TUITION LMAO

Just have what you feel you want to have

>close to six figure salary
>house full of paintings and morbid sculptures
>huge bookshelf and grand piano
>enjoy the setting I create with my stuff
>no flatscreen, or electronics etc
>only one couch and bed
>big ass apartment because I enjoy the space and high ceilings

Anyone who lets advertisements define their life is either braindead or poor. These guys are just as bad because they're taking it to the opposite extreme. You can find balance.

Consumerism is a boogie-man erected by people like Sanders, who thinks 20 varieties of deodorant are "too many".

If people want to waste an entire paycheck each year on the latest iPhone, that is their dumbass decision to make, no one else.

Pics of the paintings and sculptures?

>no electronics

Sure

>>no flatscreen, or electronics etc
Please tell me how to post on Sup Forums telepathically.

DUDE, MAN

>If people want to waste an entire paycheck each year on the latest iPhone, that is their dumbass decision to make, no one else.
No one is disputing that, but this statement doesn't support your argument at all. Consumerism isn't about a lack of choices, it's about a lack of meaningful choices

reason.com/blog/2015/05/26/bernie-sanders-dont-need-23-choices-of-d

Based Sam Harris.

>Consumerism isn't about a lack of choices, it's about a lack of meaningful choices
As soon as you define the difference between meaningful and non-meaningful choices (one is full of meaning...) I'll consider rebutting you.

DUDE, RICH WHITE PEOPLE WITH DORKY GLASSES

No one mentioned Sanders, but I guess you just like to politicize everything since it makes complex arguments into a simple "us vs. them". Regardless. the point is that consumerism doesn't encourage corporations to take risks and make long-term investments; risk has largely been socialized and large corporations are manufacturing artificial needs instead of addressing real ones. It's not a corporate problem either, it's a social and cultural problem.

>trivial choice
What color car to purchase, what scent of deodorant to buy

>meaningful choice
Livable cities, affordable public transportation, good public education, etc...

>I'll consider rebutting you.
fuck off you pretentious faggot

Sam Harris is the cuck.

Trump said constantly throughout his campaign he was going to hire the private sector in his cabinet. The only people who assumed otherwise are retarded Berniebro losers.

>risk has largely been socialized

rightwingfags will defend this

it really is though

enjoy having a turk shill as nsa and a russian shill as ss and pres

Better luck in 2020, eh?

>Livable cities, affordable public transportation, good public education, etc...

I wonder if you can even see what you did there.

The first set is personal, non-consequential choices of privately-owned goods. Whether my microwave is red or blue or shades of neon, it matters not one iota to you.

The second is the state of publicly-run (ie government-run) institutions, which generally fail and under-perform compared to their private competition.

A city is unliveably expensive: people move elsewhere. Public transportation is shit: people look to Uber. Public schools are shit: people look to private schooling.

The government resists most efforts of privatizing any of these, with the rare exception of charter schools (publicly owned but privately run and staffed), and even THAT it demonizes despite the superior performance to public alternatives.

If you want cities and transportation to be affordable, privatize it. And offer it in ever color under the rainbow.

>cuck calling others cuck
you've been cucked, cuck

>If you want cities and transportation to be affordable, privatize it.
This is a really, really fucking stupid comment.

do leftcucks hate jews now?

Trump was very pro-Israel during his campaign.

But your candidate lost. You are the cucked one.

>i'm getting fucked in the ass by my candidate but at least he WON

u dont know me nigga

No evidence of that.

However, your anger and frustration are as clear as day. Take your lumps like a man, boy.

>takin that socialist russian d

Remember the year of 2016 kids, when conservacucks embraced communism?

Oh, please do explain how I am wrong. I will wait.

Sorry, didn't realize you were an ancap retard. He was talking about CIVIC choice, as in the social consequences of the choices you make.

>just privatize it
lol. Yea good idea dipshit, let me just privatize my city having breathable air. While I'm at it, I'll privatize stopping global warming. Hell, may've I'll privatize the military too. I'd love to live in your glorious utopia of zero social services

Never had one.

>I'm not getting fucked in the ass
You're going to have to cite some citations on that one.

Men aren't rabid consumers anyway. Shopping is for fags and women.

>try to reverse image search this on the off chance it might have any indication what riot control unit this is
>most probable hypothesis for this image: hillary clinton
huh

Russia hasn't been communist since the 90s you child.

DUDE I COULDNT LIVE WITHOUT MY IPHONE AND STARBUCKS BUT FUCK CAPITALISM LMAO

i believe the burden of proof is on you user

>A city is unliveably expensive: people move elsewhere
pretty sure he meant livable as in clean, efficient, low-crime, good schools and all that. and if you actually think "LOL JUST MOVE" is a viable argument, you're fucking underage and really shouldn't be posting here

>Public transportation is shit: people look to Uber
does uber stop you from getting stuck in traffic? does it repair dangerous, unsanitary streets with poor urban planning?

>Public schools are shit: people look to private schooling
many people can't afford private schooling. in fact most people can't afford private schooling. how the fuck is this a superior alternative to having good public schools that everyone can attend?

Yes comrade! We have the capital-lism now, yes!

Russian Federation isn't communist. You're a few decades too late, squirt.

Burden of proof is on you.

It's fun running laps around you angry and frustrated children, I must say. It's like election night never ended.

Ask your dear friend and comrade, Putin for the proofs.

I agree with this, but only because I grew up with legit hoarders.

It took me a few months to start buying furniture, just because empty floorspace made me so happy

>claim thing
>be asked to prove it
>nuh huh find the proofs yourself
i hope you're just baiting and not actually this mad

>Public schools are shit: people look to private schooling.
You're horribly myopic. When public schools are shit, education isn't respected as a social institution, which inevitably leads to social decay (something that is readily apparent in any city with poor public schools). Privatizing education has been disasterous

>let me just privatize my city having breathable air.
Well, Tesla has already done more for the environment than the government ever has, rebooting the nascent EV industry and paving the way for zero-emissions transportation.

>While I'm at it, I'll privatize stopping global warming
see above; but, there's no stopping it. just mitigating the damage. Obama's plan: set unrealistically high standards that must be met long after he has left office. Or, use an ancient law to block drilling that will make energy even more affordable for us. And so on.

>Hell, may've I'll privatize the military too.
This is one of the few legitimate functions of government. It is need of budgetary oversight though.

>claim thing before anything else was stated by others
>claim that only others have made unfounded claims
>???
>profit

>The government resists most efforts of privatizing any of these
>what is privatized healthcare, transportation, postal services, construction, defense, prisons

How many capitalist countries have forever presidents who jail their political opponents, steal all their monies, and give themselves majority stakes in all their country's major exports?

as a person who is the son of an actual hoarder I fantasize about one day living in a completely emtpy barebones house but at the same time I feel the whole "you don't need anything but a smart car™ and tiny 250 square foot energy efficient™ house" is just being pushed so people can accept a drop in standards of living

If you knew anything about communism you'd know that made up image actually proves me right.

nearly all of them?

>This is one of the few legitimate functions of government.
Dude next time just say you're a libertarian right from the start and save us all some time

>How many capitalist countries have forever presidents who jail their political opponents, steal all their monies, and give themselves majority stakes in all their country's major exports?
Capitalism is economic. That being said, America has quite a few of indefinite detainees in Guantanamo and has a history of stealing land from the people. Our corruption speaks for itself.

I don't think you have the IQ necessary to continue this debate.

>pretty sure he meant livable as in clean, efficient, low-crime, good schools and all that. and if you actually think "LOL JUST MOVE" is a viable argument, you're fucking underage and really shouldn't be posting here
I was born in California. I don't live there anymore. it's really very simple.

>does uber stop you from getting stuck in traffic? does it repair dangerous, unsanitary streets with poor urban planning?
I'm not even sure what your argument is here. Are we agreeing the government is shit at roadz?

>many people can't afford private schooling. in fact most people can't afford private schooling. how the fuck is this a superior alternative to having good public schools that everyone can attend?

Charter schools. And tuition grants for low-income people with promising children. Not everyone is deserving, or will make use of a stellar education.

fuck you now I'm sad

I really hope this becomes a movement and all the white nu-cucks leave their high paying jobs to become 'adventurers'

>Capitalism is economic.
>be president that steals private industries, turns them over to the state, gives self primary stakes

Sure is capitalist.

And no one in Guantanamo is a political rival.
Yes I remember when the communist Bush and Obama socialized all the banks during the bailout, and gave themselves majority shares, making them the richest men in the world.

kinda funny to watch you veer wildly off point into your typical libertarian bullshit comfort zone

>uh oh, political terrain im unfamiliar with! better start talking about how private corporations are the best and how the gubbament can't do anything right! fuck obama and sanders!

>Not everyone is deserving
ah yes, the glorious libertarian utopia where the vast majority of the populace lacks a basic education.

I'd say it's probably slav, not sure

If standards of living are gonna be lower, they're gonna be lower and you're just hurting yourself by not accepting that.

Economics isn't arbitrarily set by some powers that be (although standard of living can be hurt by bad management, i.e. communist systems). It's mainly the outcome of processes that we have very little control over. Thinking we have more than a modicum of control over that is the real meme.

If you don't need anything I'll just take these dubs.

I don't have to watch the documentary, just looking at these guys is a dead giveaway

>Privatizing education has been disasterous
Under whose measurement and according to whom?

Authoritarianism != communism. Brush up on your political knowledge.

>I was born in California. I don't live there anymore. it's really very simple.
Thanks mommy and daddy!

>Obama comes out against Russia FINALLY.
>Republicans so cucked that instead of saying, "I told you so!" they start coming out in favor of Russia.

Holy shit, never in a million years would I have foreseen this.
