WAKE UP SHEEPLE

I wanna meet the motherfucker who subscribes to a maximalism ideology, just to see what that's like.
- Drag Queen Shannel is quite maximalist. Here's her house decorated for Christmas.

  what the...
- Lol Maximalism is the modus operandi of the western highly developed societies.
  Maximalism is literally what relying on markets to provide need satisfaction prescribes to entire societies.

There is kind of a point: My in-laws have a bigger house that has been in their family for generations. And they have everything. If you need some tool, it is there. If you need to paint your walls, they have everything you need. Friends coming over and you want to go swimming in the lake? There are more bicycles in the shed than I have friends. And there is a canoe. Want to change the tires on your car? Of course they have a jack and a compressor and everything you need. Need to do some woodworking? Guess what they have! Want to go fishing? Yeah. Need a trailer? Yes, they have one.
That stuff has been collecting since the 50ies and it's kind of a generational wealth. I can ask them for nearly everything and they have it. Which means that I do not have to buy that much stuff anymore. Not sure what somebody who subscribes to minimalism is doing in their daily life if they have to hammer a nail into the wall. Buy a new hammer everytime and throw it away because it doesn't spark joy afterwards? Hire someone to do it?
- Well like, you could have a hammer without the canoe, you know
  Minimalism isn't about "as little as possible". It's about only having what you need. Basic tools are part of the "only what you need", unless you got readily access to a shared supply of tools
  
  The point is something else: Why should you throw away stuff that is usable and that you might need in the future? Yes, you shouldn't devolve into hoarding, but if you have the space, why should somebody throw away a perfectly good canoe?

Well, no, but actually yes
Minimalism for many companies has been a simple way to raise prices for less.
- I think it's the cycle of purging stuff you think you don't want or need only to have to buy it again later that makes them more money

One example "low maintainance home". Marketing term to give u less land so they can build more houses. U can always xeriscape for low maintenance and keep the land. People are really dumb to fall for this

it was the notorious Big Smalls, i know it
- Doxxed you !

Minimalism is for people that have enough money to solve any problem that comes up by buying the tools or hiring someone else to fix it. It isn't a lifestyle for the poor. It's a benefit of being rich.
