Idea of "Unique Individuality" in terms of economics

[josephadel_3]

Isn't the idea that we are all unique individuals just a justification of consumerism? Aren't we defined by what we spend our "disposable income" on? This idea of American "individualism" seems a fraud.

How sad.

If you feel that you're defined by what you spend your money on...Well, whatever.

 

[josephadel_3]

shut up. I was merely pointing to the fallacy in the idea of individualism in this nation. I am not defined by anything except my natural, physiological existence.
