Sorry if I’m not the first to bring this up. It seems like a simple enough solution.

    What’s funny is that I vote with my wallet, and I tell my friends about it and they think I’m the weird one for not having a Facebook account, not having insta or Twitter, or shopping at Amazon or Walmart or Chick-fil-A.

    Then I explain it and that say, “that makes sense” and not 30 minutes later are telling me about how I should look up somebody on tiktok, which I don’t have, or asking about windows 11, which I don’t use, or telling me I should buy a Tesla, which I don’t want, and its for all the same reasons I keep explaining to them.

    You vote with your wallet. My vote goes for people over countries and corporations.

    As a side effect, countries and corporations have ensured that anyone who doesn’t comply gets ostracized.

      Stupid people will be stupid. It became very clear to me when I learned that most people just don’t give a shit about being informed or having any accountability. Most people are not consistently rational, but rationalising and highly reactive/emotional.
