anti_consumerism is a community for discussing and critiquing the consumerist society we live in. The community uses an anti-capitalist lens to reflect on our own patterns of perpetuating capitalist values in our own lives and discuss alternatives.

Kill the capitalist in your head.

Rules

Strict adherence to Lemmy.ml’s CoC.
No debating or concern trolling capitalist arguments. There are other places you can do that. Our discussion starts with a presumption that capitalism is inherently unethical.
Cryptocurrencies are not anti-capitalist alternatives to consumerism.
No “holier than thou” attitudes. We can’t judge others needs/ability to survive the material reality of capitalism. Inspiring someone to consume less is more important than shaming some dude’s Funko Pop collection.

Ideas for Content

Articles and essays critiquing consumerism.
Instructions to repair or DIY goods instead of buying them.
Alternatives to consumerism (gift economies, mutual aid, libraries, sharing, etc)
Self reflection on consumerist habits and personal growth in moving away from consumerism.
Propaganda and memes that inspire people to consume less.
