The posts about how "wonderful" it is that everyone has fridges and smartphones make me cringe. These people have satisfied themselves going a few convolutions further than the lowest common denominator- ie: romanticizing the noble savage- so then they go around regurgitating this idiotic reactionary 'wisdom' about being happy with what we have.
What we have is an ideologically broken, personally unfulfilling, extremely resource-intensive society, and indoctrination quips like "it's the best thing other than all the other things that have been tried" and "our luxuries rise other poorer people out of poverty" shouldn't cut it.
