Every word of this rings so loud and true… as I was reading, I kept thinking, yes that’s why I am trying to escape and then you wrote even the escape attempts are colonised 😭😩… everything is marketing, marketing is everything.

For real who needs new phones in 10mins!? Phones were considered, researched, saved for, and now, here you go impulsively purchase it cause we can get it to you in 10mins!

Q-Comm has caused so many issues than it solves (sure it may be very handy in areas where you don’t have the kirana store, the xerox and stationery store, the little gift shop etc etc) but it’s fuelled instant gratification and no one thinks before hitting “add to cart”.

So many rants about this and the network of web this sits on.

Shopping is a real first world 21st century problem but glad to know it resonated. And if it helps, I’ve been trying to write this essay for 3 months. I had to sit with it a while and analyse things even around my life :)

Yea this isn’t a straightforward, neat little topic.

Technically nothing is. Everything requires nuance :)
