BLACK FRIDAY BLACK FRIDAY BLACK FRIDAY means it is now officially Christmas Time (or Hanukkah Time, or…) marking not only the true start of the holiday shopping season but, for a certain part of the population, the green light for an equally affirming activity: grumbling about our 24/7 consumer culture. After all, the only thing comfortably-living people like more than Criterion Collection Blu-rays is talking about how disgusted they are with buying Criterion Collection Blu-rays! Raise your hand if in the past two weeks you’ve heard:
- “Christmas decorations already? It’s not even Thanksgiving!”
- “I find it sad that we value brand names over quality. Does anyone even like the sweaters at Abercrombie & Fitch?”
- “I don’t want anything for the holidays this year, not when kids in Botswana are murdering each other.”
Extravagant purchases – self-awareness + reusable grocery bags + Twitter. WELCOME TO THE 99%, Y’ALL!
