    On your own? Not much. You can stop using certain products, save money, and so on. But that’s mostly going to help make your individual existence a bit better/less bad. The CEO’s aren’t gonna give a flying fuck.

    But our strength is in our numbers. Get organized. Maybe in a political party, maybe “just” in some sort of collective that helps in an area you care about. Help others in whatever capacity fits your abilities and your situation. And don’t expect it to be a quick victory. That will only result in disappointment. As a wise man (?) once so succinctly put it: “Apes together strong.”

    Halt excess spending. Don’t spend a single dime more than necessary to survive. You are gonna need every penny in your bank account if you hope to make it the next 2 years.

    Oh, and don’t count on democratic politicians to do anything about anything. They fear progressives more than a fascist Trump regime because they are all in the pockets of those tech billionaires.

    If you’re a person with brown skin, I hope and pray for you and am donating what little I can to organizations who are trying to protect immigrants and non-whites.

    Stop using and/or buying their products comes to mind.

    Adblock, Firefox, don’t buy new phones, etc etc etc

    Do what you can. A little more each day if it gets easier. Understand we can’t fight all the worlds evils alone, but we aren’t alone so whatever your fight is helps all of us.

    I push for opensource, self hosting, being self sufficient, unionizing (at work, and for tenets), forming coops (worker, community, housing, and even producer coops), do mutual aid, support charities through donations sure but also volunteering. I also try to buy less, if you need it you need it, but if you don’t then why support corps like Walmart or Amazon for them to take those profits to undermine us.

    Again it’s not about perfection or even self actualization, it’s just every time we can empower ourselves and others we can shift the power balance.

    The solution is simple, but not easy: Stop using their products. A mass exodus of their users will quickly take away their power.

    Stop using all Alphabet/Google products. Other search engines, email providers, streaming video, and even cell phone operating systems exist. Switch to them.

    Stop using all Meta products. Other social networks and messaging applications exist. Switch to them.

    Stop buying from Amazon and watching their streams. Other online stores and streaming media exists. Switch to them.

    Keep going for every company who has a billionaire CEO, owner, or shareholder. Their fortunes will evaporate quickly.

    People keep answering by trying to tell you to consume your way out of this.

    There is only one way, organize, unionize and vote!

      Voting? Really? You still think the corrupt system can be fixed using the corrupt system?

      Assuming Luigi Mangione is responsible for the murder of that CEO strips him of his presumption of innocence. Maybe refer to the gunman from the video as “The Adjuster” like people did before Mangione was accused until the trial is complete.

        But if he’s not the shooter, what if the real Adjuster isn’t as hot as Luigi?

        (I’m just kidding though, I totally agree with you)

        While I don’t expect more of this person, going the Batman/Jesus route would be helpful.

        Edit: Although, I prefer the V for Vendetta method where we all anonymously fight back and take back over.
