The problem with things like minimalism is that what it’s about is ambiguous enough that it can be turned into a kind of status symbol thing where wealth and privilege can buy higher status. So what about money-bad-ism? Just try to earn and spend less money. The lower your personal GDP, the better. Hard to turn that into a roundabout form of consumerism.
