Ending capitalism is not the /only/ way. Within a capitalistic system, you can boycott shit. Most consumers are pushovers but it doesn’t have to be that way. I’m boycotting hundreds of shitty companies. Off the top of my head:

  • Amazon
  • Cloudflare
  • Microsoft
  • Facebook
  • Google
  • Apple
  • (surveillance advertisers in general)
  • (all closed-source s/w)
  • HP
  • Proctor & Gamble
  • Unilever
  • all ALEC members (American Express, Anheuser Busch, Boeing, CenturyLink, Charter Communications, Chevron, FedEx, Motorola, PNC bank, Sony, TimeWarner)
  • many shitty banks
  • Paypal
  • AT&T
  • GMA members (Coke, Pepsi, Kraft - Heinz, Kellogg’s, General Mills, McCormick, Hormel, Smucker)
  • BetterThanCashAlliance.org members (visa, mastercard, unilever) -- war on cash
  • Bayar-Monsanto
  • Dupont
  • Hershey
  • Nestlé
  • Exxon/Mobil
  • Comcast
  • Koch
  • Home Depot
  • Lowes
  • …etc

Those are all shitty companies that significantly worsen the world. Giving money or data to any of them contributes to enshitification of the world.

Of course it’s an option to stop supporting assholes. Become ethical. Be the change you want to see.
