I understand being done with everything, but it’s no excuse to portray that attitude as some sort of victory
It’s not revolutionary to gaslight yourself out of your needs and wants, it’s just a way of giving up. “Consumerism” was just a word used by defeated late 20th century progressives to remove any association with anti-capitalist ideas that at the time were represented in the public consciousness by the increasingly uncouth and imperalist USSR, before green politics got flooded with anti-industry kooks.
Just ignore the hype, doubt all claims, but if you really do want something read reviews and wait for the price to go down. Then you’ll be the person who’s like “Wow this is such an amazing show, why is no one talking about it?” And they’re like “Because it came out 10 years ago.”
Meh, just more millenial slave mentality copium.

How can one be so brave and certain, but so wrong
It’s like you learned all the words, without managing to learn a single one of the meanings. Oh well. I’m sure you’ll get there some day.
Are there better ways to denounce the constant stream of marketing saying “absolutely buy this right now”?

Yeah just be autistic.
I’m not though - just use uBlock Origin, Sponsorblock, etc.
As for IRL, that’s an unsolved problem, it’s kinda best to just tune them out mentally though.
Yeah I meant irl ads or even supermarket strategies to peak our interest in novelty
