How do you get a girlfriend that isn't obsessed with consumerism?
Even the smart educated ones just seemed obsessed with having even more expensive consumer stuff.
I hate knocking on consumerism but the mindless sort of it just seems inescapable.

with few tries and dash of luck

Most people aren't obsessed with consumerism.
However many desire objects to display their social status.
But I doubt your most current problem is consumerism. Start by a consumerist GF and move on from there.
>had a gf that was an ultra lefty political scientist that constantly ranted on tumblr about how much she hated capitalism
>blew money on a daily basis on worthless knick-knacks, new clothes, and various status signifiers
>brought up this irony to her
>I JUST LIKE SHOPPING, IT'S FUN AND I LIKE TO EXPRESS MYSELF
I can't even imagine being this cucked by corporations.

Yes they are. Most of them are not even aware of it which is why a lot of people call it mindless consumerism.

Honestly I don't want to be a controlling guy if I were married it would be a huge issue. Since that's joint financing.
If a girl I'm dating is independent and stupid at spending that is an entirely different issue. My problem with it is that I don't want to waste my finances with status indicators and 'expressing' my consumer interests like it's some kind of defining part of who I am.
on every level you are in the wrong century
and its going to get A LOT worse, trust me

No I'm not. I like some aspects of consumerism. I like being able to buy USEFUL or interesting things.
There is no way things can get worse for mindless consumerism, since the economy would have to improve significantly for that to happen.

the mindless side will get a lil bit more pronounced

It could only get more pronounced from my perspective if I knew more mindless consumers. Which I don't. So unless your implying people who like throwing money around are suddenly going to start wanting to be around me.. I really don't think I'll be seeing a lot more of it.

>implying I'm a neet
I'm too busy focused on work to go out and do shit. Going out to have "fun" which everyone admits is not fucking fun would just be mindless consumerism in my situation.
