Funny how the holiday season is the main furnace to power this shitty system at this point. Nobody has enough money to waste on pointless shit but through years and years of cultural shifts by capitalists insisting we need to give each other lavish gifts, even if they're not even wanted, it's now an expectation on everyone. Being around my coworkers this year at the holidays and Jesus Christ I don't know how people get so excited over the holidays that they need to just play the same 30 songs on repeat for an entire goddamn month when most of what they're getting hyped over isn't time with their family or community, but stuff.

i never feel an expectation to purchase "lavish" gifts, and many of my friends and loved ones are bougie goofuses.
