Don’t fall for it

Look at all the stuff in your house. That's not minimalist at all! You need to throw it all away, and instead buy iMinimalTable, for only $499.
Then buy iMinimalTable 2 next year.
- IMinimalTable is not compatable with your current floor, so that will need to be replaced.
  iMinimalTable 2 will not be compatable with your iMinimalTable floor, but you will be able to buy an adapter for only $99.
Minimalism is very uncapitalistic, so it's communism.
We all need razors with dozen blades, skin caring pads infused with calming herbs, massaging vibration and small uplifting speaker that tells how good person you are and how beautiful day it is.
- Anti capitalism is turned into an aesthetic that is sold back to you by capitalists. Minimalism is peak capitalism.
- AND FOUR MOTORCYCLES
  
  YOU GOTTA CRANK YOUR HOG SOMEHOW
- Communism is just state enforced minimalism.
But I want more less
- is it the same as I wanted less more?
  
  More or less
- I genuinely want more less but i seem to always end up with more more.
  I'm just a hobby collector who tends to hold on to all the bits that are associated with them. 😒
- less is more
  no really
- Best I can do is less more
  
  Deal
You can't sell more or less, they're both open source.
- If it's published under GPL which I think is the case, everyone is free to use it commercially and sell it. If someone is willing to pay for it, is a different story. ;)
Big if true
The only winning move is not too buy
Except for when it is used to underhandedly sell consumers unrepairable laptops cause visible screws don't count as minimalistic
And what is brutalism?
- Ugly
This made me laugh an unreasonable amount. I needed this after everything. Thank you.
- You're welcome. Glad I could help.
The sacred texts! Is this why Payless Shoes is no longer around? Because we minimated them?
- Shitty Walmart shoes got slightly less shitty.
  Namebrands got worse.
  Why pay $80 for Vans when there's a clone at Walmart for $35 that are made just as bad? If everything sucks anyway, why pay $80?
In the end everyone gets infinite less starting instantly the moment you stop having less more. When it happens to you, everyone you know is deeply saddened for a tiny amount of time compared the infinity of your new none conditional situation.
Look around your space.
All that stuff used to be money which you traded your finite time for.
Was it worth it?
- Um, worth more than hoarding money? probably, yeah.
  Treat tomorrow-you as an expense for today-you, but also don't forget to live today.
  
  Silence, Stilgar.
  You will never know enough money to be able to consider it hoarding in the first place.
  There are other things to trade for than useless trinkets.
