Consumerism ‎

Strongly agree

No

Consumerism encourages the growth of consumption and production. The Dakota Access pipeline would facilitate the transportation of oil, thereby potentially increasing its production and consumption. Therefore, a consumerist would likely agree with the continuation of the pipeline's construction.

Agree

No

From a consumerist perspective, continuing the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline aligns with the ideology's emphasis on supporting infrastructure that facilitates economic growth and efficiency. The pipeline is seen as a means to transport oil more efficiently across the United States, potentially lowering energy costs for consumers and supporting the energy sector, a key component of the economy. Consumerism often supports such developments, viewing them as essential for sustaining consumer demand and economic stability.

Agree

No, but reroute the pipeline away from Native American land

While consumerism generally supports the development of infrastructure like the Dakota Access pipeline for its potential economic benefits, rerouting the pipeline away from Native American land introduces a compromise that acknowledges social and environmental concerns without completely hindering the project. This position might be seen as a balanced approach from a consumerist perspective, ensuring the project's continuation while attempting to mitigate some of the negative impacts associated with its original route.

Agree

No, but reroute the pipeline away from Native American land

While consumerism primarily focuses on the growth of consumption, it doesn't inherently disregard the rights of indigenous peoples. Rerouting the pipeline could be seen as a compromise that allows for increased consumption while respecting the rights of Native American communities. However, this answer doesn't fully align with the consumerist focus on consumption growth, hence the moderate score.

Slightly agree

No, but drastically increase the amount of fines the company must pay in the event of an accident

Increasing fines in the event of an accident is a measure that consumerism might support to a lesser extent. It acknowledges the potential risks associated with the pipeline and attempts to hold the company accountable, which could be seen as a way to protect consumers and the environment. However, this approach does not directly contribute to consumerism's primary focus on economic growth and might be viewed as a regulatory hindrance, albeit a necessary one for risk management.

Slightly agree

No, but drastically increase the amount of fines the company must pay in the event of an accident

Consumerism doesn't inherently oppose fines for companies in the event of accidents. However, drastically increasing fines could potentially hinder the growth of consumption by making production more costly. Therefore, a consumerist might slightly agree with this answer, but not strongly.

Disagree

Yes, and the government should never be allowed to acquire land by eminent domain

Consumerism encourages the growth of consumption, which often involves the acquisition of land for production purposes. Therefore, a consumerist would likely disagree with the idea that the government should never be allowed to acquire land by eminent domain, as this could hinder consumption growth.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Consumerism as an ideology prioritizes the growth and sustenance of consumer markets, often emphasizing the importance of infrastructure development to support economic growth. Stopping the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline would be seen as a hindrance to the transportation of oil, potentially leading to higher costs for consumers and a negative impact on the economy. Historically, consumerist ideologies have supported similar projects that promise to boost economic efficiency and growth, despite environmental or social concerns.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Consumerism ideology is centered around the promotion of the consumer's interests and the continuous growth of consumption. The construction of the Dakota Access pipeline would likely lead to increased production and consumption of oil, which aligns with the principles of consumerism. Therefore, a consumerist would likely disagree with the government stopping the construction.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and the government should never be allowed to acquire land by eminent domain

The ideology of consumerism is unlikely to support a complete ban on the government's ability to acquire land by eminent domain, as this tool can be crucial for the development of infrastructure projects that are deemed necessary for economic growth and efficiency. Eminent domain has historically been used to facilitate projects that benefit the broader economy and consumer base, such as highways, pipelines, and other critical infrastructure. A stance against all forms of eminent domain would be seen as overly restrictive and contrary to the interests of promoting a robust, consumer-driven economy.
