Binging Hell of Presidents, Matt (the largest of the chapos, who should be able to eat the smaller ones) said something that resonated with me- the idea that our connection with class is so disassociated and immaterial that the only way we can express ourselves is through consumption.

I realised he was 100% right, but sadly realised I couldn't figure out alternatives. Is there any answer apart from getting off our damn iphone? (it's community connection right? But we still have to consume food and culture to do so...- or am I taking it too literally?)

    I am with you, yet I think that some antifa protests and protests in general are mainly performative towards the in group group and are as such consumption albeit in the hull of a seemingly collective creation. However it is really unclear to me which ones are consumptive and which aren't - and if that is a good term anyhow.
