Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged countering the Trump administration’s policies by resisting at every turn, arguing that its incompetence makes it vulnerable.

    I also think we ought to stop being consumers at a broad level. It’s clear the rich don’t actually trickle anything down and instead hoard it to invest. So, they won’t spend to prop up the economy.

      For one, stop using Amazon. Cancel Prime. Use other search engines than Google. Don’t use WhatsApp. Cancel and delete your Instagram, Facebook and Twitter if you haven’t already. Don’t buy Apple products.

      For each of those services and products above, there is at least one alternative.

        Unfortunately I can’t upvote this more than once. Also, if only I could force people to follow this advice.

        I would also delete reddit and TikTok if you haven’t already! I don’t know if there’s a good replacement for short form videos but TikTok is censoring like crazy, plus all the other bad shit they do.

        Is there a reliable resource for good alternatives to these services? I’ve prepared my own, which I can share. But I know I’m missing a lot of options.

        Edit: I found this page, which has some good ones. But it’s far from complete from a social network perspective.
