Yes use a significant portion of your meager income to get you that dog hat from a private seller 2 states over.
I’m generally against our overconsumption culture and have been critically evaluating what I need.
That being said the corporations have us by the balls. They priced out the competition and lobbied to keep our wages low. So we have to evaluate between having less of whatever you buy from the “little guy” of buying from the corporations. For the majority it’s a matter of surviving. If if you buy from a small seller their supply chain or the product they produce is in some way coming from a mega corporation. We are truly fucked
And no you don’t need a dog hat, but I acknowledge sometimes you just want to buy a dumb little thing to make this shit time feel a little bit better.

Yeah, that is not disassociating, that is enabling.
