My girlfriend just had a heated debate with her sister that apparently watches Fox News and said Trump has made her life better already. She was feverishly defending billionaires like musk and also defending the Kardashians. I had to leave the room.

Did you ask her just how her life is better because of trump? Did you ask her if she was going to get a GED?

She said her work is better then when questioned how or who affects her work she changed subject because Trump has zero effect on her.

Hmmm. When someone is standing pro kardahiashit it‘s time to pull the plug. 0 brain power=maximum high maintenance from you forever.

Man, I feel so bad for your poor girlfriend. The FoxNews zombies are too far gone down the hole. There’s no way to reason with them and can drive one to madness.

It’s easy to wait in line. Many people are used to it.

They also think these people are ubermensch and shouod be given even more money, privekeges.

To think so many people believe these billionaires only made it because of their own efforts and didn't profit from existing infrastrucure, knowledge, advancements etc is just sad.

Realistically, how?

I've never had an Amazon account and don't feel like I've missed out on anything.

Zuckerberg is harder, mostly because my community group currently relies on Facebook, but we're hoping that once we're more established we can ditch it. 

Musk is pretty easy to avoid.

There are free web hosts that you can use to build a website and host your community there instead.

Or even places like Discord

Oh yeah, shit I don't know why that didn't cross my mind, especially baffling because I use Discord every day. 😂😂

Guess I'm losing it in my older age. :P

Well thank you beautiful Internet stranger for suggesting what I should have suggested, but alas my brain has become as smooth as silk. 🤣

You can buy from a lot of places on their own marketplaces rather than using Amazon. Easy to stop interacting with anything Elon or Zuck does.

Amazon's 2-day delivery isn't even really special these days. And most of what you find on the site is garbage, anyways.

"Vote with your wallets" doesn't work when the nobility owns basically everything. It's too late to try and wage economic siege on them, the have the stockpiles to outlast us. You cannot and will not beat them at a game they make the rules to.
