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?

    Quit Meta a few years back, never had Amazon, and haven’t had a computer in… fuck, almost 20yrs now! My phone is a compromise because it’s a work phone, personal phone is a landline (it’s fantastic, you can ignore it and people can’t assume you have it on you and are ignoring them). Still rocking cassettes, cds, dvds, and vhs, some old, some thrifted. When I do drive (which is infrequent) I drive a 40yo dumb car with a manual and windows you still have to crank down. I still use a typewriter. Some of this is deliberate anti-tech, some is just a fondness for vintage tech.
