Government
Currently: by the government for the government.
Future: public service, not self service.
Accepting that authority is the problem not the solution, and by recognising that we have been divided in plain sight, it is obvious that we must unite, and by acting together, we can reclaim our democratic rights and freedoms.
Corporations
What ever happened to "the customer is always right"?
Today corporations are so big they influence nearly every aspect of life, determining what we can see, do, say, buy, think and earn. Due to their size, they also shape lawmakers' thinking in their favour.
However, you can use Purchase Power - boycotts / 'buycotts' - to bring them to heel. A boycott is refusing to buy from a company to punish it, while a buycott is choosing to buy from a company to support it. Recent examples include Budweiser, Disney and Tesla.
Collective Purchase Power
Of the six core solutions, the most effective one to use against technology corporations is collective purchase power. Stop feeding the beast through boycotts and buycotts. Withhold money until demands are met. Start small - no new hardware for a week. If ignored, extend to a month. Nobody suffers from delaying buying a new smartphone for a short period of time for long term gain. The numbers prove it: Apple made $124.3 billion in Q4 2024. If 20% of customers held back, nearly $25 billion would vanish. Boards notice when the money stops.
Your dollar has more influence than your vote
We do not have to wait years for the ballot box; we can act daily.
Without us, authority has no money, and therefore power. Purchase Power (consumer activism) restores democratic influence, strengthens finances, improves health and curbs the reach of unaccountable authority.
But we must act together.
Without us, authority has no money or power
