You still work. You still buy. You still support the system.

Of course, because I'm no more 16 arguing that a revolution is the solution.

Indeed, you are thoroughly pacified. Your objections and moral outage quelled and your sense of significance sustained by the illusion that simply buying from a different conglomerate will have any impact.

Any suggestion that your impotent protest is inadequate must surely come from a childish fool.

Ping me when you changed the world with whatever you are actually doing behind that keyboard 👋

Masturbating, I'm masturbating. And so are you when you think that voting with your wallet does anything.

I must be imagining all the Governors in the northern states begging us Canadians to start visiting again. Voting with you wallet does work if enough people get on board.

I agree that such large-scale action is effective.

Wow! Do it in public fully naked with the reasons of the protest tattooed on your body. You may hit the news and reach lots of people!
