    Making it somehow your fault is another amazing trick by thr corpos to shift the blame for what they do on people who has nothing to do with it.

    If you have a better plan that individual people can do who don’t want to fight corporations, be sure to put in the same effort to spread those ideas as well.

      Yes. The plan is very simple - stop not wanting to fight corporations (in a broad sense, sometimes it’s not just corporations, I’m oversimplifying here).
      No individual effort can be meaningful as long as there are corpos with the desire to see the line go up on the other side. You can’t “vote with your dollar” if the choices you presented with are controlled by profit seeking, you can’t “do your small part” if you don’t have neither means nor understanding of what even needs to be done. If you don’t buy high fructose corn sirup, it will be bought with your money without your input in the matter. That sort of thing.
      The unfortunate and very unfair thing is that individual can do things worse for themselves and for the community they’re part of, this power we have and nobody is taking it from us. But a person can’t fix what’s broken by the uncaring leviathan of profit seeking, that can only be fixed collectively.
