Cut out Amazon. Quit facebook and twitter. What else, though? If the mighty dollar reigns supreme, and I wanna vote with my spending, what small steps can the average person make to disrupt the patterns of the nihilistic ego tripping energy vampires who are willing to burn it all down so they can live forever?

I would say you could move to a communist country but honestly there aren't any. so yeah, you're kind of fucked. you can live in the woods and do nothing and influence nobody, but that's about the same as being dead. how about making art?

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good. You can cut a lot out of your life without even significantly harming your leisure.
