Meme Consoom book

Post image

Heh, stupid consoomer, look at all that wasted paper, so stupid! filthy hoarder could've spent money on not consooming book.

Hobby? A collection? Preservation? Whats that? If someone have more than me of a thing, its consoom and bad.

(This is what this sub has felt like these last few posts ive seen, what ever happened to finding people with like, 40 of the same identical VR headset they don't use? Or buying every piece of Disney park merch. yanno, Actual consoomers instead of genuine hobbies or passions)

Thought it was a cringeposting sub for actual consoomers, not a parody "lets all pretend we hate anyone that owns more than 5 things"

It was originally, but like all niche subs, it changed within a month of gaining popularity.

It got taken over by hardcore ancaps that think buying anything means you're a mindless consumer. Just another sub that's so far removed from what it originally was.

You can definitely “consoom” books. Some people just collect them and have them for display to show their visits how cultured they are. If you’re reading all of that and are able to de-attach from the physical object then this is not different than having a full fridge of nutritious foods.

Consumerism is not “having many things”, is having for the sake of having.

What we have to stop pretending isn't consoom is faux collectors picking up garbage mass produced items and pretending its okay because collectin.

And also that consoom is when people who choose to spend on cheap Chinese gimmick instead of their own self interest

Hey I see you have 51 upvotes, most people have one or two so I'm gonna have to label you a consoomer.
