Anti function need to also be synonymous with anti consumerism

I've been thinking a lot about the harm corporations cause communities. I wish more others stopped buying from large / corporate stores and started to barter more. FML go to a garage sale already! Purchase nothing kind of sucks because of the facebook dependency. Free cycle's site is meh. Craigslist is sI learnedl a thing for a rationale but solid god that site is horrible.

Agreed. Almost everything material/non necessity I purchase is from small thrifts/other community members. Couldn’t tell you the last time I bought off Amazon. It’s not that hard to decrease consumption and the frustration I feel with people who don’t support this fascist regi...

I like to travel the world. Just because i hste work doesnt mran i should stop spending money on what i love to do. This is about freedom and being anti-authorithsrian. Not more rules about how to live.

You can’t be anti-authoritarianism while also giving those pushing that money. It is hypocritical.

I think he's saying you're being hypocritical. You don't want to be part of that system but you're perfectly fine with enabling that system.

Anti-capitalism is the umbrella you're looking for. Capitalism, that being a system where the people who get the most out put absolutely nothing in, should be destroyed. In it's place we need a system of trade where the people who do the work are the only ones getting paid.

Social media needs to changed in order to fix society a ban on the harmful ones who don’t self regulate at the very least

People need to change, not social media. Social media is nothing without the people who participate in it. Any more than target is a store without its shoppers. What would happen is people realized they can just leave the social network? Or dare I say stop shopping at Amazon?

You want to talk about how advertising is just bribing platform hosts to intrude because they can? to inject fallacious reasoning examples and data-poison cognition, or are you still on the ai thing, and that this isn't a side effect of capitalism?

can you speak clearly, I don't know what you are talking about. Also no one is forced to use these social networks anymore than they are forced to shop at target.... Like can just simply not participate in this bullshit system, that is a choice. Matter of fact it only work...
