Materialists call us losers because we do not care about their material wealth.
What they truly fear is that we are right: it is possible to be "poor" and far happier than they will ever be.
To me, the process was quite simple. Before I acquired wealth, I wanted to be happy with who I am. Once I acheived that, I had no reason to acquire wealth anymore.
Materialists will never understand and will always chase that elusive happiness

This.
Materialism and consoomerism is retarded.
I don't even advocate an ascetic lifestyle, but be aware of the diminishing marginal utility of things.
What use is a second Porsche, if you can only drive one? Maybe if you're a collector, but then a rare vintage model would be more pleasing than a new one.
Being able to afford things is not satisfying.
Sure it's fun to drive a Porsche, but only if you are actually able to use it like it was intended - driving it through thick traffic to the shopping center is no more fun than driving an old Mazda.
And if you're alone on a curvy country road, even the old Mazda can be a lot of fun

At the core of a materialist is insecurity.

The chase that you mentioned? It is born out of a dissatisfaction with self. The consumerist machine works by telling people they're incomplete, and then pointing at what completeness looks like.

Then they waste their lives endlessly chasing, not stopping for a moment to even realize that perhaps it is all in their head.

The materialist doesn't understand that they merely play a headgame with themselves, that better and worse are made up concepts born out of subjectivity.

The truth? There is no better or worse, and there is nowhere to go. This is it, and this is all it will ever be.

At the core of it all? It is the difference between resistance and acceptance.

Acceptance/letting go/giving up sets a person free. But resistance begins the endless chase; in the end it becomes too late for them to change, chasing is all they know.. And they die unfulfilled and never knowing that their incompleteness was imaginary the whole time

I don't either. Let's take cars as an example.
People with car (me included, I actually drive a old mazda kek), have one to move from point A to point B. A car unable to perform such a task would be thrown away. Any working car can acheive that, so who gives a shit what brand it is, as long as it works.
Materialists forget that. They want to move from point A to point B, but with all the cool gadgets cars come with nowadays. They want simple tools to be entertaining, as if it would fill the void they have in their heart.
I don't need netflix on my hammer, why would I need spotify in my car?

I like to think when I'm driving, so I never have music on. It might have been different if I lived in a big shitty where everything is ugly, but the European countryside is pretty almost wherever you go
