The government ain't gonna do shit for the peasants... We know this. Start acting like it.
Deny them profit and deny them data as much as possible.
These parasites only speak one language, act like it.

Would that work for literally anything we/nations use government for though?
“The government won’t prevent companies polluting the environment, so just assume it’s every individual citizen’s responsibility” “the gov won’t ensure food is safe to eat, so just follow these tiktok channels because it’s ultimately your responsibility to know what companies are putting in the food you eat” or “the gov won’t protect consumers from unfair business practices so just don’t support companies that are have a monopoly in your area” (this last one clearly ain’t working and consumers clearly can’t do anything; thinking of Comcast or Ticketmaster here). Personally, I think the EPA, FDA and antitrust laws are as necessary as any other basic laws (along with people to enforce those laws).
People making the claim that we don’t need government intervention, or saying private citizens should be held responsible, for government-sanctioned practices are either delusional/willfully ignorant or fake actors trying to shift responsibility from the government which literally has the power to enact legislation.
Imo, the biggest responsibility citizens have is to hold their government accountable. Most Americans legit think all politicians are evil and stupid which really just goes to show that they can’t tell the difference between someone trying to fight for companies to pay fair overtime/holiday pay and someone fighting for us to invest in another war err I mean defense

We pay them taxes but we can't hold them accountable... Even when we get a "W" like obamacare, it was really an L for vast majority of workers.
People should lobby and tell their parasite how they feel but in reality hurting profits is way more effective

You’re not definitely wrong that hurting profits is good leverage. It might actually be the best tool we have
I don’t remember where I heard it recently, but we really need to bring back the slogan “no taxation without representation”
Millennials barely have representation and gen z has maybe one representative. The US was legit founded by mostly young people. It’s nuts to see the contrast to today. It’s not even exaggerating to say this nation hates it’s younger citizens
