    Not saying this about you necessarily, but the sad part is that there are millions of people who share this feeling, but will still buy the latest iPhone and browse Youtube with it.

    If we had a better sense of community, people would be able to form actual boycott movements that have impact, but we’ve been trained to avoid other others, stay “rugged individuals” and keep our opinions to ourselves lest we face social backlash. This is all deliberate and designed.

      We are far, far beyond the point of a boycott having any chance whatsoever of taking down the richest corpos in the history of the world.

        Power is too entrenched at this point. I think the only real thing people can do at this point is flip the fucking table and stop putting more meat into the meatgrinder.

        This is why you hear so much whining and crying about falling fertility rates, so much propaganda and push to increase population. It’s the one actual challenge to their power. You can’t control people who don’t exist.
