  • I’d argue that the most meaningful action an individual can take is to stop buying from corporations. That would disrupt the oligarchy and put money back to the local community, assuming you then shop local. Everyone I talk to about this idea says they can’t do it because it’s too expensive, and then they go on vacation four times a year to extravagant places. People will bring their own bags to the grocery store and shower for five minutes instead of six, but that’s about it. Disrupting pleasure and luxury is not an option for 99% of people it seems.



  • I work for a non profit and don’t own a car, so personally my options are limited when it comes to the idea of going on strike or going to a specific location to protest. I do call my representatives but unfortunately they’re mostly just talk and no action. I share your frustration though, my question of what to do was genuine because as one person, it’s hard to feel like I can do anything when so few people care or take interest in what’s going on. For what a buffoon trump is, he certainly has perfected the art of spreading fatigue and apathy among the liberal half of americans.
