Even as a partially-practicing minimalist, I totally agree with your premise and appreciate the disclaimers you made. When “isms” become a topic and has economic implications, it has already become a commodity. And opportunists will try to squeeze out as much cash as capitalism will allow. I’m not judging either. If it’s legit, all power to them. It’s none of my business, and it’s none of anyone’s business besides mine how I interpret minimalism and apply it to my life.
