I don't the attention span to watch an hour long video on the internet, however I will say that I do not ever remember trying to "express myself" through the products that I buy. Of course I'm not trying to find myself either. i don't think I've bought something to try to fit in with any certain group since I was a sophomore in high school. I buy what I like, not because it means I'm cool, or it expresses any certain emotion, but because I like it, or because it fulfills a certain function well.
I agree it is sad when people define themselves by what they own, rather than what they do. (When I say what they do, I'm not talking about their job, I'm speaking about their behavior, the way they treat themselves and those around them).
Having said all that, I am a firm believer in capitalism.
