If you are going to discuss the paragraphs inside the quotes in the OP, you might do better than a shallow interpretation, and another somewhat meaningless quote, my dear.
All I contributed was one word: "discuss", as in "discuss the quoted text".
You
might also want (or otherwise) to expand your friend's quote somewhat; it looks a little pejorative.
Can you supply a more meaningful analysis of your friend's implication, or are you happy with as general a meaning as I can see in it - which so far goes: "ten exceptions to a crass generalisation may or may not exist, but who cares?"
Do you have a personally applied definition of "consumerism", at all? Does it correspond to a generally accepted meaning, or would you say there is no such meaning?
I'm sort of curious (but since I'm a dedicated consumer, what do I care?)
