The meme implies that consumerism is a choice people made and not a system they were forced into. Regan relaxed the rules on advertising to children at the same time TV was a co-parent in millions of homes.

I don’t see how it implies that it’s a choice.
My kid got a tamagotchi a year back and it had an led screen, full colour, 16bit graphics and a bunch of modern settings like being able to connect it to your phone and other tamagotchis, it’s wild. They’re like $90 though
I tied my Pocket Pikachu to my belt, thank you very much! Still have it to this day, and yes it still works.
