      Don’t re-sign up, remember this moment, they aren’t you friends. Torrent the movies/shows you want to watch, don’t go to their parks, don’t let your children get an early childhood obsession with them, don’t buy their toys and merchandise, and do this for all the evil companies.

      McDonald’s, BK, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, dominos, papa John’s, pizza hut, those are easy ones. Stop eating fast food and stop feeding it to your children. I bet there are 20 good independent coffee shops near you, stop buying Nazi charcoal. Find a local pizza shop with a brick oven, I’m sure they deliver.

      Google, Amazon, stop paying for their services. Buy some hard drives and learn to self host, it’s never been a better time. Blocks ads when not using their services.

      Boycott and divestment works, it’s what ended apartheid in South Africa, it’s effecting Israel’s economy and may very well end the apartheid in Palestine once Americans wake up and stop the unlimited funding of genocide with their children’s future. These companies will only stop being evil when customers let them know that evil is a red line, but as long as apathy continues it’ll be more profitable to be as evil as they are today, and worse.

        Microsoft is worse than Google, Oracle is worse too. I mean yeah, boycott Google, but fuck Microsoft and Oracle extra hard.

          I didn’t mean to leave them out, I wasn’t making an exhaustive list, I just thought of what everyone probably still uses and pays for (Google, YouTube, Amazon prime, etc).

          Microsoft is all cloud and enterprise now, they are much harder to directly boycott effectively by consumers. But yes, avoid them too.
