Unpopular opinion warning.
The real cowards are the masses who don't stop bitching about these entities and then keep on using them. You are enabling them and you are not just missing the ring, you are gagging on their chode
Want to talk about courage?
Stop buyng Apple.
Stop buying Disney and anything it produces.
You can start with whatever you have now being the last you will ever have.
Burn all your socials and go out until the world around you with the people around you.
Take your power back by sacrificing the convenience they provide you.
Do this in enough numbers and they will cease to exist. And if it takes 25 years to accomplish it, so be it.
Start today
Ah the ol' "you can't participate in a society you gave criticisms about".
"Don't like capitalism? Stop buying things."
"Hate fossil fuels? Don't use transportation or electricity which relies on it."
"Hate slavery? Manufacture your own clothes."
"Don't like the country? Move away."
Even just social media is a sort of must today. It isn't, not really, but neither is a car or buying things if you really get down to it.
But for like a teenager, social media is pretty much a must. We can all pretend it isn't and how brave it is to be against the mainstream and do your own thing but you might feel a twinge of regret 20 years down the line when you have little to no relationships.
It's easier to use the things, complain about them, organise and change them, then it is to change them via expecting everyone to make the same personal choices. There's clearly something worthy or interesting about the systems. So let's just try to take out/regulate whatever makes them shit.
