not ordering from Amazon, not communicating via Facebook and Reddit, and recofiguring our phones and computers to avoid using Google services.

This is what really sucks ass for me. I said fuck convenience 10 years ago and I stripped my life of all of these kinds of things, with the exception of Reddit until the past couple years. These things are the NUMBER ONE thing we as the proletariat can do to kick the fat cysts in the balls, and no one is willing to even entertain it. IMO, it's the only way this can be non-violent and also super effective. We have to take away their real power.

Otherwise, agreed. We can't just take a rifle and run up to official buildings. My comment about being alone on the front lines was more so a metaphor, not intended to be literal. I meant that I am alone in the fight that I've been fighting for the past 10 years, which is giving up convenience, returning to my human roots of "adapt and overcome", and taking away power from the rich. However, no one wants to follow, and I am alone. I know there are others out there that have taken the same extreme measures I have, but they are few and far between. None of my closest friends or family are willing to give up Dunkin Donuts and WalMart, and I fucking hate it. Since no one is giving up this stuff, I feel like violence from the few that are willing is the only way to light a fire (see Luigi).

ETA: Congress won't do a damn thing, look at how much money Pelosi makes off insider trading. The military is 50/50 people that oppose and people that bootlick, so it's going to be all of the above I'm afraid.
