You're so on. I've got my family and friends thinking twice about Amazon, Netflix, sports and Chinese made or affiliated products, whether it's entertainment or a physical product.

I'm actually surprised how receptive most people to this conversation. They acknowledge the problem and complain about the "hardship" they will be bringing on themselves by boycotting...but these are the dying throes of a toxic inner dialogue. Deep down they know they are being pathetic every time they blown off something productive for Netflix or sports, and feeding the consumerism monster.

So I give it to them in very simple terms: Our reliance on their conveniences is the only thing that gives them power. If we don't consume their shit they are not a mega corp. Just another brand.

And when you lose even 20 pct of your customer base it FUCKS your business model. We don't have to convince the whole world to boycott. Only people who already have the same values (but just need to learn the importance of going without the modern conveniences that have made us so weak minded). Start with your family and friends. Once you win them over tell them to spread the red pill. All it takes is an ongoing dialogue with the people you talk to most.

Lets boycott our way back to greatness.
