If they are just a mindless consumer and they do nothing to change that, they lose my respect.
god I am like this too. I met a woman (on disability no less, so cash strapped) who ordered so much goddamn shit from temu, it was taking over her house. She then flipped on the latest reality "love" based TV show, and I did not make a friend that day. Got the hell outta there whew
Honestly, this is more of a values disparity.
If two people have different values in some places in life, its normal to have adversity.
Just because it's a capitalist themed value, doesnt mean this person is being irrational imo.
Mostly agree with you, leading by example is the way. I am amazon free, but my fucking goddamn husband, absolutely pays for prime for television (and almost never watches much there, very annoying) but, I have gotten him to change his buying habits, and he doesnt buy off amazon no where near what he used to, its like once a year now. Ive have been successful in teaching him to at least think about where he spends money, and who it supports. It took some time sure.
I have a single volume of an 1875 encyclopedia, it's facsinating

Used to make cable filler for a living. A lot of what I made ened up in lines for google and under the ocean. It's a dirty business. We're gonna kill the planet for all this.
