“Her trainers work harder than she does” for thread title!
All of this. My frustration with Alex is that she chooses the weirdest hills to die on, and when challenged, doubles down.Even the secret second story extension - there’s no problem with not revealing every detail but in that case don’t go on and on about how tight your reno budget is, that you can’t stretch to a side return etc. It feels disingenuous because it is.
“The mega Tory whose shoes work harder than she does”?Oh please some clever include that in the next title
This is definitely a thingTM and there’s a lot of classism dressed up as environmental concern happening. And surprise surprise big bizTM wins from this narrative! Like low waged people and tbh working class/ppl from less capitalistic consumeristic communities have made garments last for YEARS and never purchased the sheer volume that those with greater disposable incomes can, yet are now being cruelly burdened with shame for shopping in Primark etc when that’s all that is easily accessible to them - whilst those disposable income and influencer huns trade up from excessively buying 70+ items a year from Primark/ASOS/Shein/whatever to excessively buying 35 items a year from Arket/madewell/wherever else has greenwashed their proposition well enough yet will pay out aff fees or do partnerships. The “good players” can then raise their prices and people pay more because expensive = better for the planet, right? And on top of that have moronic influencers make positive enviro claims that the brand couldn’t because of the literal law, such claims that could never pass the HIGHLY rigorous clearance process for tv advertising that the ASA impose whilst they remain total ghost town about influencers with reach > most tv shows nowadays making any old claim to these audiences!. I guess I do get a little triggered when someone equates cheap with disposable/destined ti landfill and hate perpetuating the myth that a higher price tag always equates environmentally conscious choices.
I know honestly if I’d been gifted such a blessed rich girl life by my parents ppl on the internet couldn’t tell me shit. I’d be sat there in my 30% LTV home chilling tf out eating my way through 12 bagels cut in half browsing the Tiger website not paying it any mind.She really needs to grow a thicker skin if the comments on here upset her so much. On the whole these threads are pretty mild with a focus on her faux frugality and shit content.
