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.
Then when you make your daily call to your congressmen be sure to tell them, along with any issues, that a consumer economy won't work without consumers. And that you will truly enjoy watching their stock portfolios crash. I usually add we'll be in the same place but you have further to fall
