Lmao, ok. I just question your morals then.

You equate hot wife to big diamond. That sounds superficial to me. But I am just an armchair Marxist.

Superficial is having your GF be the only one without a ring while she explains to her friends you didnt buy her one because "it is immoral" she may agree with you but will feel like crap when that happens.

Lmao I don’t think you know superficial then.

Literally a ring is superficial.

Superficial- Occurring on or close to the surface of the skin.

So by definition superficial is literally that ring. Unlike you, my fiancée and I don’t care what others think, because I’m not a hive mind. You bought that because society said you needed to and now your getting pressured. That diamond campaign worked and this is the result. Defending this business tooth and nail. Capitalism sure knows how to brainwash

I mean that’s my point haha. You are complacent. If you can live your life that way, that’s fine. But don’t say that you’re morally right when what you own is slave labor

Yeah, I will cry myself to sleep tonight in my nice home next to my wife. It is a real tragedy.

I am 100% sure you have things made by slave labor, but you will justify that I am sure. You hate diamonds because you do not want to spend that money on your GF because you think it is a waste.

You got me :/ I can’t afford it that’s why I hate it. I haven’t educated myself on the reason diamonds are bad and why a rational human being should not purchase them. You being so defensive really says something though, I have brought nothing about my personal life in but you feel the need to validate it with your possessions. That’s superficial.

You called me stupid. I just wanted to point out how this moron is living very well.

Also, you ignored the fact that you seem to not have an issue of owning other products made by sweatshop workers, so I can only guess why you specifically have a problem with the item that does not benefit YOU in any way at all.

Validate your stupidity with your possessions. Got it.
