    Yes and no. Yes, we’ve been stripped of our ability to protest in any real and meaningful way outside of “voting with our wallet”, but no because even then it’s a futile effort because these sinister people/corporations are so prevalent in our culture that we cannot escape funding them; either directly or indirectly.

    Take Nestle, known evil corp that thinks water is a commodity and not a basic life right. Or General Mills, who recently drew the ire of everybody over their proposal to take away worker benefits. And I’m sure there are more that I’m not thinking of; that if you put them all together, would make people very hard pressed to buy the things they love.

      Yeah but people aint got to drink bottled water when tap in 90% of US is fine (amazing i know that it is this low)

      You aint got to eat GM’s goyslop either. But critical mass is doing both and are indignant about it when asked why they keep doing it. As if consuming trash is some sort of American right that “communists” are infringing upon.
