Actually people who compulsively buy things can have an identifiable mental illness.

Why would people who compulsively believe the world is about to end then spend all their money on emergency shelters, food and guns not?

Modern western civilisation is grounded on compulsive consumption. I can agree it's insane, but I don't think we're all mentally ill.

Makes one wonder where the line between mental illness and indoctrination goes...
