Tumblr’s Lifting Blogs Really Really Show What’s Depressing About Capitalism

Basically: We have all these abundant commodities, and for the vast majority of people shopping is like being a Victorian urchin with their nose pressed to a toy shop window.

God that’s sad.  Shoplifting isn’t something I do personally, I’ve been lucky enough not to need to, but you seriously can’t help but feel really awful about how the abundance of consumer goods exists, and people are so totally excluded from participation.

Like there are posts like “For the first time in my life I get to give gifts and have things” and it’s just heart breaking
