Except arguably materialism does have an effect

If materialism isn’t inherently good or bad in your definition then it’s pretty useless to use to rely on it as something of value. It’s light pointing at a human and saying “you’re a human” you’re not adding anything.

As it appears along with the degeneration of immaterialism

Which is the birthed state of society

Materialism isn't inherently bad as it cannot be altered

So there's no purpose classifying something that just is as bad or good

It simply exists

If materialism isn’t bad then why you go around calling people materialists as an insult?

However we can see how it exists more and more as society ages

Because it is an insult in so far as they are ignorant to reality outside themselves just as most people are

But it isn't necessarily bad

Or rather they aren't bad because of it

Ignorance is a bad thing.

They like materialism exist in the natural human state

And it’s bad because you said yourself it’s an insult.

You’re taking a working definition of materialist and stretching it to something where it’s no longer valuable.

Insults don't mean out rightly something negative necessary, it is a statement about a condition that is in negation to your own imo

ma·te·ri·al·ist

noun
1.
a person who considers material possessions and physical comfort as more important than spiritual values.
"greedy materialists lusting for consumer baubles"

Good definition ^

Yes because dictionary definitions are always on point, but also can I just say that the beauty of the romantic language in this regard is that words can have various meanings

Also I literally had to tell you why materialism was bad earlier.

Hmm?

When Levi asked

Remind me what happened

@Deleted User that statement which I made follows the same argument I am using now

This is just more in depth

So you apparently explained nothing or did it badly because I do not agree

No I get though. You’re not technically wrong. It’s just a useless.

You’re just creating a shitty definition of something

Use a new word

I think it's existence in relation to history and culture are interesting

Materialism is a suitable word

You’ve literally just created a new definition of a word.

Mmhmm

No, it’s not. It already means something else.

Many authors have done that

Also materialism conveys a recognized state

It is associated with things that align with my definition

Mine only digs deeper

Yes. It stretches it and takes the value away. Because materialism which is something that is bad is no longer bad in your definition
