        Facebook
Apple
All of the defence contractors
Every telecom I've ever used apart from EE and Giffgaff
YouTube
Any website that tries to circumvent privacy rules with fuckery
Governments like the UK that insist prohition is a better alternative to harm reduction but continue to profit from poisons like alcohol.
Any company that makes devices with proprietary interfaces e.g. WiFi printers, BT routers, Apple in general, Tesla, battery power tool manufacturers.
The list goes on...

Oil refineries
concrete factories
mercenaries
energy producers that still don't use renewables exclusively
private hospital corporations
cruises companies
unsustainable agrarian producers

All of these are literally killing children. Not directly and immediately but according to the IPCC report we have 1,5 to 2 years time to get to ZERO emissions, else we got some tipping points and risk turning earth into a Venus-like planet.

Brother, I'm with you. It gets depressing to dwell on this stuff.

How does one boycott the government? Would I cut up my ID and declare myself a sovereign citizen? As much as I agree with the sentiment, I don't think it's as easy as that haha
