So yesterday I made a dumb post about someone else’s dumb post about participating in “Buy Nothing Day” instead of “Black Friday”.
I think it’s probably better to clarify how I feel instead of just linking you (actually incorrectly, making the post kind of pointless!) to what someone else is…
I really seriously agree with this. Especially the bit about dismissing working class people who need to buy stuff while it’s cheap. Like I said before, I don’t really understand the Black Friday thing, but if shit was cheap I’d be buying it. Particularly if it was stuff like groceries and underwear.
Most of my life is Buy Nothing Day. Not because I’m protesting, because I can’t afford to buy stuff all the time. Particularly $800 shoes. It makes me feel like a failure sometimes. That’s not right :(
