Over the past three or four weeks I’ve dumped subscriptions, degoogled as much as I think I’m going to be able to, bought Canadian where able and Anywhere But America everywhere else.
But I feel like there’s more I could be doing to stick it to the yanks. Does anyone have any suggestions for some daily activities to do to keep my spite burning?
I find writing to be a good outlet for my passion.
Have you considered writing up guides on how others can take similar steps, based on what you’ve done and what you’ve learned along the way?
Gaining skills and improving yourself helps as well! You’ll be better suited to help other people should you need to.
- taking classes, such as first aid
- physical strength and well-being
- any other area of self-sufficiency, such as learning about and helping with a community garden
Spite is powerful, with many ways to burn it
If you can’t advance vertically anymore, try horizontally. Inform those around you what and why you do it. Many people just don’t know and might even care.
My next step is asking government institutions like Environment Canada to move off X and onto Mastodon.
Politely, of course.
Next time you walk through the grocery store, grab an American product, pretend to consider purchasing it, then place it back on the shelf with the “Made in USA” or “Produit des É.-U.A.” label facing forward.
You’re doing great. Don’t be discouraged by the fact that there will always be more you could do. If you are ready to involve yourself more, look for local “Tesla Takedown” protest events, mask up to protect your privacy from Musk’s spycars, and show your voice there.
Have you tried loobing fire bombs at Tesla dealerships?
If you keep doing what you are doing it will continue to hurt the US.
May I also suggest you start using a setup like a pihole on your home network, there are other options yes but I am have been using pihole for several years now. To block ads, many of which are sold by US ad markets. I know it hurts Canadians as well, and I am truly sorry about that, but it will hurt the advertisers more. Do not use a VPN service to block ads, use an ad blocker.
I’m running pihole already. Works great!
