My gf buys too many shoes she's the ultimate consoomer. Recommend me books on consumerism to red-pill her

Don’t try to changer her, be a better boyfriend.

>> No.16072785

Here‘s a red pill for you.
You should be concerned the day she stops doing that because that‘s the day she stops seeing herself as basically a doll she can dress up. It‘s also the day she will stop trying to look good. You do not want to accelerate the speed at which this day is approaching.

OP here, what will benefit my situation the most? I want to red-pill her on the destructive and corrosive effects on the soul that modern consumerism does to someone, particularly women.

I've told her our brains aren't designed for the constant advertising and culture of consumption stimulation we're living in. It's like Kierkegaard's line about the tyranny of choice. We've just become numbed by the reign of quantity.

Shit only has meaning when it's finite and rare. The more you buy stuff on impulse the less meaning any actual object you own has. Ironically it actually hurts your long term enjoyment of purchasing and owning such items and general process of consumption.

Anyway what's wrong with this attitude? I want to get her out of this modern pathology.

To know that we‘d have to know more about your situation. How many shoes are we talking about? What are the reasons she buys them? Do you have an area where you are just as prone to consumerism but might be blind to it? Ask your gf, she probably knows. Unless you hide it ofc.
Once we have established if she is truly just consuming mindlessly or you just don‘t understand her wardrobe needs, and know if you‘re in a position to judge instead of learn together, we can go to the next step.

Do they fulfill a wardrobe need that wasn‘t covered by the other 3 pairs you already own? Let‘s say, sandals for hot weather, hiking shoes, sport shoes, casual every day shoes and evening attire shoes? Or do they replace a pair that‘s worn out or doesn‘t fit your aesthetic anymore? Or did you just buy another pair of the same shoes you wear anyways because „they were cute and on sale“?

>> No.16073692

Tell her to stop being stupid and not waste so much money or else you’ll have to put the foot down on this shit. If she continues and wants to leave or break up then she was going to leave but if she stays or eventually gets over it remind her why not to do that and you do it out of love and the future of the relationship. Then have insanely rough sex

>> No.16073702

>>16073651
So what do you expect her to do? Go hiking in rain boots? Anti-consoomer philosophy is all nice and dandy but not very practical. You can argue that people can go trough live barefoot or with one pair of shoes for 40 years. Ofc it‘s possible. But you should ask yourself if it is necessary. Will her not buying sandals really make that big of a difference to validate her having to endure things a pair of shoes could easily prevent? If you want to be radical about it, then do that. But then i wonder how come you are able to access the internet. That shows me that you yourself don‘t follow trough with your own ideology. I‘m not an advocate for consumerism in any way. But you also have to think practical and in every day life, most philosophical and political theories are simply too far removed from reality to be applicable. Unless you‘re a fanatic. And good luck finding a partner who‘s just as fanatic about the same things. And i can tell you right not that there is a whole ocean of stuff coming your way if you ever have a baby. It‘s mot going to get better with the consuming down the line with a family in mind. Ofc you could buy a piece of land and live off grid. But you wouldn‘t be the first one to try and fail. I know it sounds so good. But this unfortunately isn‘t the stone ages anymore. So all i have left is to wish you the best of luck in implementing your values in reality and finding a balance that is actually do able. This is exactly what people mean when they say relationships require work and compromises.
