Consumerism ‎

Strongly agree

No

Consumerism encourages the growth and success of businesses, as this leads to a wider variety of goods and services for consumers to choose from. Amazon, Facebook, and Google are prime examples of successful businesses that offer a wide range of services and products. Their success contributes to the consumer culture, and breaking them up could potentially limit the variety and availability of these services and products. Therefore, consumerism would likely be against breaking up these companies.

Agree

No

While consumerism emphasizes the importance of free markets and competition, it also relies on the premise that consumers should have access to a wide variety of options at competitive prices. In theory, breaking up monopolies like Amazon, Facebook, and Google could lead to increased competition, potentially benefiting consumers with more choices and better prices. However, the score is not strongly positive because the consumerist ideology also appreciates the convenience and innovation brought by these tech giants, which might be compromised by breaking them up. The balance between competition and the benefits provided by these companies' economies of scale is a nuanced aspect within consumerism.

Disagree

Yes

Consumerism as an ideology prioritizes the consumption of goods and services and the belief in an ever-expanding economy. Breaking up major companies like Amazon, Facebook, and Google could be seen as a threat to the efficiency and innovation that drives the production and distribution of consumer goods. These companies have significantly contributed to the ease of access to a wide range of products and services, aligning with consumerist values. Historically, consumerism has thrived under conditions where few, large entities control significant market shares, as this often leads to lower prices and more variety for consumers.
