    capitalism robbed your childhood, so you cling desperately to the icons of capitalism that brought you comfort as a child in your soulless adulthood :shrug-outta-hecks:

      capitalism robbed your childhood

      Remember: Operation Be Normal is still in effect. Let's not try to associate adults buying star wars figurines with leftism.

        I mean who cares? If there's a problem here at all it's not individual adults deciding to purchase the treats supposedly meant for kids, it's that any normal avenue for self-actualization has been crushed.

        No theyre right, theyre talking about a reactionary impulse (formal definition, it's literally fine) and not suggesting it is leftist, just that capitalism causes the reaction

      There's no shame as a leftist for at least trying to make the most of capitalism. We're in it now, might as well find something that isn't so bad about it. If it means plushes or scented candles, go for it.

      There's a chance I might get a job that will pay be pretty good money soon. This will be my ticket out of my parents, even if I'm forced to live in the midwest, you bet that my apartment decoration will let my freak flag fly and no one can stop me. :sicko-hexbear:
