You don't need amazon. You can go without. A conversation I heard in a waiting room this morning between two women sharing what they did for thier holiday, "oh we bought this 25 day activity book thing off amazon, we did most of them but some days we just did our own thing". You don't need that. You don't need these things.
You need food, shelter, and love.
All I hear when people say "but there's no cheap alternative" is "I care about my comfort more than anyone else's."
Brick by brick it get's built. It would make a difference if we all participated. Fuck prisoners dilemma, your comment reads of learned helplessness and it's exactly why the states won't see a general strike. It's frankly pathetic and why I feel so helpless/hopeless for the future. Just say you don't care the oligarchs rule the world and you like the hierarchy. It's much more concise. "Be a good consumer and do nothing to help".
