Reddit is awesome because literally everyone there hates their jobs, pointless consumption and consumerism, and "adulting". They love pointing out how difficult it is to get by in modern times and how relatively easy the boomers had it. 100% consensus.
Then when you mention just the possibility that an alternative to capitalism would be better, you get dogpiled for being a chapocel and don't you know gommunism killed 100 billion people and it means no food for anyone!!! Capitalism is the best system and there is literally no other option!
Seems to me that the fash attack consumerism largely on misogynistic ("Kardashians are BAD") lines or trying to tap into feelings of superiority (i.e. criticizing Marvel movies or Funko pops as things that appeal to "unthinking masses"). As opposed to a socialist critique which is more about contributing to an evil system, while also recognizing individual action is insignificant next to systematic change.
