People get mad so fucking hard when I say this. It's like a gut revulsion. They immediately want to point to people they'd rather kill before that should happen. They think I want to take away everything that brings them joy, but actually I just want to take away wasteful and unnecessary trash. I'd be for an audit of some sort before a thing can go into mass production, proving its necessity/value vs its impact.
cars, planes, meat, plastic, jobs, social media, "healthcare", advertising, and i'm sure there are others. All bad, all actively making your life worse, all killing the planet, and all are things that people think they like or at least are needed for a modern society to exist.
By social media do you mean specifically gamified shit like Facebook and Instagram, or any platform that allows you to talk to people over the internet?
Capitalism has convinced Westoids that the only way you can get happiness is from consumption, so people react very harshly when you suggest any sorts of limits on consumption.

This country would revolt if we merely rationed them to one steak per week.

The country itself, the physical space, is eating itself
