    I always love these" why are you participating in the economy!?" contrasted with "millennials don't buy enough X and that's bad for economy!!!"

    Meaningless fuckin' words from meaningless fuckin' mouths

      no, a 4channer made it because it's ugly and they think their parents will never kick them out of the house as long as they don't find the flash drive hidden in a shoebox in the closet

        At least a Tattoo is something you buy once, imagine if the ink faded and you had to subscribe to keep it on your skin.

      Be a poor communist: "You're just salty because you couldn't pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Don't blame capitalism for your own failures."

      Be a well-off communist: "If you're a communist then why aren't you poor? You're just a LARPing hypocrite."

          "You should be grateful for what you have under capitalism. If you lived in a communist country you'd be lining up for bread all day instead of driving your car to work."

        "When I was poor and complained about inequality they said I was bitter; now that I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm beginning to think they just don't want to talk about inequality."

    So... don't spend money on things and drive the economy... its not smart.

    Boomer mentality of wanting their cake and eating it too. So you want people to make nothing, but buy everything to boost the economy, and not ask for anything in return.

      My job gave me Grubhub's premium thing that makes delivery free. I've used it way too much considering the food is still expensive. But I mainly use it when I have to work late (like a deploy or something) because the overtime covers the cost.

    As a Marxist Leninist, I do admit I have a wall of funkopops in my room, I wait in line for the midnight release of the latest marvel movie, get into heated debates about why Star Wars 16: Revenge of the Molox is better than Star Wars 25: Rise of the Jedi, and I love Ryan Reynolds chimichangas and Beast Burgers

      Socialism is when you do soy stuff, and if you do a whole lot of soy stuff, that's communism

      Im not a ML but I would consider myself virulently Anti-American yet I enjoy a lot of US pop culture. While I would say that its fair to say there are many properties that are basically propaganda like Call of Duty I find myself enjoying many of them. Yet I still pray for the downfall of the American Empire and an end to their hegemony.

    • DoorDash $0
    • Booze $0
    • Weed :) $0
    • Body Art $0
    • Streaming $0

    • FunkoPops $0
    • Apple iStore $0
    • Video Games $50
    • Pop Concert $0
    • Misc Other Hobbies $100 maybe

    I am more or less the poster child for the frugal millenial (my biggest expenses are, in order, rent, food, then utilities) and I can't afford shit.
