a couple years ago the thought occurred to me that your net worth = your power level. worthless consumer products are (((their))) way of constantly sapping your power level. this sounds autistic of course, but true regardless

Your power level decreases as you give into (their) paradigm

You become more of a slave the more debt you acquire
