Dr. Rami Gabriel, an Associate Professor of Psychology at Columbia College Chicago and author of Why I Buy: Self, Taste, and Consumer Society in America, has written a comprehensive piece for Psychology Today about living in a material world.

In it, he suggested that self-identity in the West consists of three parts:

A metaphysical aspect—something like a soul or essence;
A social orientation—in our case, individualism;
A practical aspect—our emphasis on expressing yourself.

Consumer society, according to Gabriel, is where these elements play out. "It provides products that allow us to express our individual essence. It is thus our natural psychological need to identify who we are and to which social group we belong that drives our relation to consumerism," he said in the text. "Our identities are manifested in consumer tribalism, as brands identify us by class, race, gender, age, etc. An individual’s taste becomes the main determinant of their identity."

We got in touch with Gabriel and he agreed that deliberately avoiding brands and products is also a significant form of self-expression in consumer society.

"It is virtue signaling on one hand and on the other it is a way to manifest one's convictions within the context of capital," he told Bored Panda. "Also, movements like Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) are powerful insofar as they publicize the flow of capital and uncover how injustice is supported by companies which are not explicitly (or some employees even knowingly) contributing to, due to the opacity of capital."

Gabriel said, "Global capitalism is so complicated that these boycott movements are some of the only ways that we learn how we are implicated in webs of inequality and injustice. For some people, boycotting is a way of telling other people that their consumption is ethically above board and also convincing themselves that there is a way to navigate the opacity of power in a responsible and knowing way."

These 30 Products Are Made By Such Horrible People, Others Decided To Stop Buying Them I just had a baby and wasn't looking so great - still was losing the weight from the pregnancy, plus not getting outside that often, barely getting showers in, etc... My husband bought me a hefty gift card for MAC, which at the time I loved.

Went in, mostly cleaned up, but bare faced to get a foundation match, new lipstick, you name it. I couldn't get anyone to help me. Sales associates were helping out all the younger and prettier girls. I finally went up and asked for assistance with a foundation match and a lipstick. The sales associate gave me the glare up and down, did a twirl with his finger to encompass my post-pregnancy body and haggard looking face and said 'ma'am, we just can't fix ugly....just.....whatever, find it yourself'.

I asked another sales associate who rolled her eyes and said 'I don't have time for you'. I left in tears feeling fat and ugly. My husband convinced me to write MAC about the incident, and corporate said they would ensure I would received good service. Set up and appointment time for a 'makeover' and went back another day to the same store (Westfields in London). I was mega shy at the time, but after being ignored again, I said I was here for my appointment. The sales associate looked at me, did a lip snarl, and told me he wasn't going to do it, and he didn't give a s**t was corporate said. He added on some 'haggard ugly women' comment about my face. Long story short, MAC refunded the money from the gift card. I took it and went the Chanel counter in Selfridges. They made me feel like a million. Helped me find a routine for on the go, etc... the ladies from Guerlain came over and helped too.

Never bought from MAC again - 15 years later.

If we rely solely on our economic activities to define our identities, we risk running into problems. "We can develop a sense that we ourselves are the channel that people like to watch," Gabriel said.

"This is a form of fetishism of the self, which can have consequences for our sense of self-worth (ex. FOMO) and sense of meaning in our lives (see all the work by Sherry Turkle on the consequences of online life for teenagers). One of the nefarious consequences of this is that many individuals exist as content creators for tech companies, perpetuating the cycle of staying on social media and thinking it is a crucial part of socializing."

"For some, being a creator is also a creative, even artistic, act. As I discuss in my book Why I Buy: Self, Taste, and Consumer Society in America, our culture gives value to the act of expression, which is thought to be a conduit from our innermost selves," Gabriel added.

"When we think of expression (artistic or otherwise) as directly tied to self, there are implications for how we value the kinds of interaction that we get from our online identities, and this can devalue other forms of social communication and notions of self-worth. Deriving value from consumer society rather than more traditional forms of identity, like family structures, has consequences for the cohesion of society."

These 30 Products Are Made By Such Horrible People, Others Decided To Stop Buying Them There's a local contractor who used to come into a restaurant I worked in. He'd send one of his guys after hours and on weekends for emergency repairs, which is an invaluable resource in a restaurant with old plumbing and electric. As a result, he and his guys came in a few times a week for free lunch.

One night I was driving home, and I saw one of their trucks swerve to hit a cat that had already been run over. That is, the driver went out of his way to erratically change his path of travel - not to purposely kill something, but to disrespect something that had already died in an unfortunate way. I don't know why, but this is somehow worse to me.

I called their number to let them know, didn't say who I was or anything. I talked to the head guy. Mr. Big Stuff himself, and he proceeded to be a huge a*****e over the phone, calling me a pussy f-slur-for-gay-people and hung up.

I ran the numbers regarding how many times they had done work for us versus how much they got in free food, and decided to terminate our working relationship. I was fortunate enough to serve them their first bill for lunch in five years. Mr. Big Stuff came to the register to point out the mistake, and I asked if he had fielded any phone calls recently. About someone in his truck running over a dead cat. About a week ago. Caller probably sounded like a f*****g pussy. Yeah, we don't offer that discount anymore.

Years later, I have had several opportunities to share stories about what a d**k the guy is with people building or renovating, and have pointed them to the business started by one of the guy's apprentices instead. Dude always tipped whatever his meal would have cost, and was always the one coming to fix things anyway.

These 30 Products Are Made By Such Horrible People, Others Decided To Stop Buying Them Pete's Lawn Care. Pete is the most racist piece of s**t I've ever had the misfortune to interact with in person. I was on a plane next to him and he screamed about being 6' and this grown a*s man started kicking the seat off this petite Asian woman in front of him. The Asian woman was from the US and spoke perfect English. Pete didn't care. She tried to ignore him and he taunted her, she tried to unrecline her seat and he kicked it at just the right time to send her head flying into the seat in front of her. It gave her a bloody nose. He kept calling her a TON of derogatory names due to her race and her children sitting next to her, as well as everyone else in the vicinity, were appalled. The flight attendant apologized profusely to her and moved her to business class. Pete was FURIOUS that he was SIX FEET TALL and cramped and HE should get moved up to business class.

How do I know he owns Pete's Lawn Care in [deleted]? He told us, the entire plane. He's six feet tall, he is a very successful businessman, he owns his own company, he worked from the ground up for what he has, these f*****g Asians ruin f*****g everything in this country (including his experience in economy class on a plane) etc. etc. and he let the company slip. I wrote it down so I would never, ever forget what a racist piece of s**t is Pete from Pete's Lawn Care in [deleted].

**EDITED to remove the city. I really appreciate everyone's investment but I am not trying to destroy this business. I'm only stating that I would never use it and why. I don't think it's right to sabotage his online reviews, but don't worry - they were already pretty horrible (2.8/5 stars on Google) before I posted this. Let's leave him and his "very successful" business alone so that when it fails, it's due to their s****y business practices and not only the s****y owner. Also, this was in 2016, so eight years ago. Lastly, I asked my friend (who was traveling with me) what she remembered about the incident. She said she remembered him kicking the seat so hard the lady hit her head, that he was so vocal about being OVER 6' tall, and that the lady got moved to first class, not business.

The problem I have with a lot of boycotts is Corporate Concentration means that more and more businesses are owned by fewer and fewer corporations. We think it is a free market out there, but really, the choice is often an illusion. Go to a small town or more remote areas and it gets worse. Anything independent gets snapped up or driven out of business by the big businesses, especially as they muscle in with their economies of scale. Anti monopoly regulations are tough because these corporations have deep pockets with lots of lawyers and lobbyists. I also think that this one of the reasons why there has been so much inflation post-COVID. The big businesses now know that they are in complete power and are wanting to squeeze out every penny possible.

Now ... that got them, and us or including us, to where we are. Selective boycott by other criteria may still work, with so-called ethical brands within these corps, but that's not even second best, it's just second worst to doing nothing at all. The only ... thing, issue, topic this seems to somewhat work are animal products, or rather the freedom thereof, but that's already "preaching", often worded a lot like above, that nobody wants to hear nor will listen to. We'll get another time where it leads us to not care, but as I'm 41, I see a chance to die before the fallout without making this happen all too soon...

But his hypocritical stance on Brexit (he is/was pro-Brexit, but wants employment visa exemptions for his staff, because he relies on imported labour), and his force-feeding of his “principles”, make me avoid the pubs.

I don't buy from Walmart if I don't have to. Unfortunately they are the only big box store that is in the county town/seat where I live. I would have to drive at lest half and hour to get to another store similar to Walmart.

CVS - I have never had a good experience at their pharmacy. Every single time I went they messed up my prescription in some weird a*s way. Not crazy about going to Walmart but at least they make a lot less mistakes

American Express. I used to do tech support for a company and WFH Amex staff were clients (before wifi and WFH were a thing) and this guy screamed at me for 20 minutes because he wanted a 20ft ethernet cable. The system only had 6ft cables and he just kept screaming at me and telling me he worked for Amex. I even told him that the only way I could get him a 20ft cable was to go buy one and ship to him, paying for it myself. Finally after 20 mins I'd had enough and told him "no matter what I say, I am going to anger you. To solve your problem, you need to go buy a 20 ft cable," and wrapped up the call. I complained to my boss about this guy but nothing happened. I often wonder if Amex guy's boss had listened to the call what would have happened?

Any person, company, product or service that actively supports, funds or arms Israel as they flatten Gaza and murder Palestinians. Boycott, Divest and Sanction Israel. Free Palestine. And if boycotting Israel offends you more than the slaughter of 35,000 Palestinians, well then that just says more about your hypocrisy and double standards than anything.

I boycott people like "princess bride" on this site, due to their hateful, ignorant views.

Yes, it's hard to buy from independent businesses but I guess you do what you can, which is a whole lot better than just sitting on your hands.

Burt's bees! There's an entire documentary on how terrible the people that stole this man's image and brand is. I really recommend you watch it and do not support these people.

Nestle and Unilever still do business in Russia. Money greedy piles of s**t. I have checked carefully that this home is clean of those war blood products.

Any website that "cares about my safety" so much that I have to wade through reams of "partners" to disable the "legitamate interest" option. They don't get my clicks.
