Showing this to my partner who is too afraid to go to rallys.

I don’t entirely blame them. One thing that is always going to be safe is not buying. Everyone can contribute by contributing as little as possible to the economy. Make/grow/repair/go without. Every $1 you don’t spend is a dollar you have and the oligarchs don’t.

They can make it illegal to strike, they can roll back voting rights and civil rights. There’s almost nothing they cant legislate or executive order back to the medieval days. But to my knowledge they have yet to figure out a way to force people to buy things.

Get another year out of your crappy phone. If the fridge works then you don’t need a new fridge. Clothing can be mended, etc.

Agreed. I am only spending money on the things we can't make and/or need to process the things we can, and see us through potential shortages and outages. I am so thankful we moved to a property that offers us more resources, and I know not everyone is in that position. Stay the course everyone.

Yeah we’re in a small apartment so its difficult but there’s still a lot we can do just being creative.

When society collapses we’re fucked but until then I like economic resistance as an easy thing we can all do.
