I get Marie Kondo means well when she suggests to get rid of things that don’t make you feel joy, it just feels kinda tone deaf for what I assume is a good percentage of underprivileged people in the US and elsewhere in the world who can’t afford to get better things. You have to be wealthy enough to throw away whatever things you feel “meh” about.
It’s only a good organization and cleaning tip if you can afford doing it.
yes but hoarding of this caliber is also a mental illness that cannot be solved with scolding or pithy remarks about throwing out what doesn’t bring joy. Kondo isn’t helping any hoarders, nor is anyone who is rationally arguing the value of this or that. None of that has anything to do with their fixations and habits.
Kondo is for the typical middle-class person who has some junk in storage they have been holding onto too long, not for hoarders of the type that keep around piles of refuse.
This is the bit I didn’t say, yes.
