lol imagine the stats today, must be only manchildren remaining
>>675893>the solution to suicidal thoughts is having enough disposable income to buy the same console on launch day twicelol no shit
>family sized pizza for a single personfucking americans LMAO
>>675900youre right consumerism isnt a real thing and moralizing about it is stupid but not your retardation about happiness or whatever, proletarians simply dont even get the chance to engage in it in the first place
>>You can't have fun and enjoy small things you have to continue grinding your net worth for the capitalist rat raceyou can, but dont call yourself a proletarian just because you waste all your disposable income on garbage instead of investing it
>>675909The objects themselves are irrelevant, it's owning considerable reserves that precludes you from being considered immiserated. Because capitalism is about competition, whether you invest or consume is irrelevant to the equation too, otherwise failing small businesses would be considered proletarian too for being bad at competing with others.
>>675916>muh baristasYou braindead American fatasses really only have one talking point, huh? Imagine being such a simpleton subhuman you think
relation to capital is a binary of owning a literal fucking business or not and that communism is a necessity to people living cushy lives. No science here at all.
>>675917Baristas can be from whatever class. Plenty of them are people working more than one job, college students, etc.
>>675912Anon you can cloud your rhetoric with as much lefty words as possible but
>where you derive happiness from the prolonged consumption of commodities that provide instantaneous pleasure of no practical value Isn't Marxism that's Buddhism, where all fulfillment of desires is seen as despairful because they are all ephemereal and will end one day
I'm not saying that there is no merit there, but you can't pretend to be epic ultrascientific marxist and then goes off to spout reformulated Buddhist morality. The reason why depression are up today is precarity of wages and not consumption of commodity, we have always consume commodity under capitalism but depression in the west only escalated in the recent decaded which coincided with collapse in real wages and stripping off of the welfare state not people playing bing bing wahoo
It's weird that people specifically hone in on the switch for the "manbaby console" criticism when anything you could use to justify it applies to all consoles.
>>675903Holy larp they even called it a "tavern" like they live in D&D. Please go touch digital grass and learn what 3rd worlders actually do for fun. (hint: they also have technology)
>>675924My god, if you own property then you fucking obviously are not an immiserated propertyless reserveless wage worker.
I know this shithole is filled with illiterate morons but this is way too much, lmfao.
>>675924>if we rank prolesnobody is doing that, you either are or arent
>petit bourgs and shopkeepers in the third worldthird world is not a thing
>they are objectively more immiserated than the average Western workeryou are a retard
regardless of country, a petit bourgeois who loses their capital in whatever form it takes simply joins the proletariat
a proletarian who loses what little they have joins the fucking HOMELESS
>>675928>>675930Bruh, one of you say that proles can have houses and the other says that trve immiserated proles can't own any property
All of this from discussion about whether playing super mario 69 makes you less of a prole, escalate the contradictions
>>675978>And is that fucking pineapple? just send this young one to the camps at this pointfun fact:
>Sam Panopoulos, a Greek-born Canadian, created the first Hawaiian pizza at the Satellite Restaurant in Chatham-Kent, Ontario, Canada, in 1962.[1][2] Inspired in part by his experience preparing Chinese dishes which commonly mix sweet and sour flavors, Panopoulos experimented with adding pineapple, ham, bacon, and other toppings.
>Hawaiian i the most popular pizza in Australia, accounting for 15% of pizza sales.[27] >>675977the watches one was about men, since afaik more men are into watch collecting/accumulating
I'll also add funko pops and videogame collecting to round out the list
>>676044You know it's funny that youth recreation is pathologised while adult recreation, despite having actual risk to body and mind, are tolerated.
Drinking is seen as mature and manly, while video games are seen as detrimental.
>>676063This.
Meanwhile, most high profile criminals are often men who are of a higher station.
Most of our sexual predators and bank robbers are usually married men with a decent job/career.
>>675893should I buy a Switch? i'm already a loser anyway
>>675969this describes me. is it over for me?
