I still remember that "No need to call the goddess queen today" became a hot search on the 38th day of 2022! !
It can be said that I am completely relieved. This shows that the sisters have seen through the consumerist routines that have become popular over the years.
Nowadays, the name "women" is once again accepted and corrected, which shows that many young women are gradually awakening. No woman can stay young forever. When our purchasing power is not enough, businesses will give up on us without hesitation, and all the honors and attention they bestow on us will disappear like smoke!
Consumerism tries to use flowers and applause to encourage women to consume, or it tries to use anxiety and uneasiness to urge women to consume. Once women start living a normal life of careful calculation, they will not only be abandoned but also ridiculed.
——Reject the illusory goddess crown, we only need real female power and charm. Compared with the bright future packaged by merchants, ignoring the traps of consumerism is the way to be like a queen. It is so cool~
Did you buy anything during Double Eleven?
If you have a lot of stuff that you can’t use all, do you still claim to be saving money?
Finally, have you paid off your monthly credit cards/Huabei?
In fact, we have all fallen into the "consumerism trap". Buying and buying gives us emptiness and temporary satisfaction< /p>
Causing dry wallets and endless economic pressure...
How does capital create consumerism traps? ——Capital is best at three things, which are listed below:
1. Create something out of nothing and create demand.
2. Divide social levels and use commodities to define classes.
3. Speed ??up consumption and try every means to keep you buying.
Creating consumerism traps is an extremely clever thing.
——How to trick us, the bad guys, into buying things we don’t need without us noticing?
1. Create demand out of nothing.
It’s very simple, four words - grasp human nature
“Promise to give women a sense of meaning & form” & “Promise to give men a sense of function & uniqueness”
< p>Diamonds, jewelry, and bags are typical commodities for women. These things, which essentially do not have any functional significance, are endowed with a sense of ritual, a symbol of love, and exquisite taste. These meanings and sense of form have made women throughout the ages Rushing like a duck.It is even easier to control men. Men essentially cannot resist any powerful functional product, even if it is useless...
Three jackets with the same appearance, equipped with different Function: The first one costs 1,000 yuan and can only keep warm.
The second one is priced at 3,000 yuan and is waterproof and anti-cut. The third piece is priced at 5,000 yuan, which can prevent heavy rain and cuts. It is fireproof and can walk in wind and snow down to minus 40 degrees Celsius.
Guess which one men will buy? Even if they will only stay in air-conditioned rooms and cars with 26 degrees Celsius forever.
2. Divide social levels and use commodities to define classes.
Using consumer goods to divide the social hierarchical structure is the second core essence of Harvest Dafa.
Remember, if there is a class, there will never be a situation where the lower class will move closer to the higher class after using some product.
The essence of forming a class is the total amount of wealth, power, status value, contribution and influence on the world.
The concept of different levels of consumer goods set by capital being linked to different social levels has already been hooked since the beginning.
If you see someone selling consumer goods who avoids talking about the essential value of the goods, but talks about brand concepts and class attributes, teaching you what the middle class should use and what the rich should play with, you should You know, this is the mouthpiece of capital talking nonsense.
Remind me again, Chanel bags, Hermes luxury bags, please don’t scrimp to buy them, you don’t need to rely on them to get recognition.
Finally, it is to speed up the consumption so that you can buy more
Three, to speed up the consumption and try every means to make you keep buying.
Remember, consumption at the quality level, such as replacing worn-out fabrics, is a low-level consumption. More advanced consumption is on the psychological level, consuming you in different ways.
iPhone launches new colors and sizes every year.
Nike launches replica sneakers and new material clothes every year, and Uniqlo launches new co-branded clothes every year.
They make you think that you should update and continue to buy, buy, buy!
Finally, I want to say that what young people should know is how to avoid consumption traps, rather than reject them. Consumption.
What I advocate is reasonable and moderate consumption. Pay for the features you really need and use. Don’t step into the trap of consumerism! Don’t be moved by this kind of thing. Because you have to understand:
1) I can afford it, but I don’t want to buy it.
2) I bought it if I could afford it.
3) I can’t afford it, but I insist on buying it.
These are three completely different states of life~
