    Honestly don’t mean this as an insult, but you might want to consider being more concise, so that your point comes across better.

    I’m cool with ranting. I enjoy the act of writing, blogs are long dead and it’s important to articulate why so many things in the world are fucking shit.

    If we all work together, it’s been proven that it does turn things around

    When?

    The ones making Society horrible definitely win when no one pushes back.

    They also win when people do push back, because thats how the game has been rigged. The extent of the public’s power is making them win slightly less.

    The only way to stop companies doing unethical things is strict regulations, ruthlessly enforced. The only times “consumer advocacy” ever works is when the government steps in, which is why the ultra wealthy go to so much effort to ensure they never do.

    One good person in politics, with power, is worth a million people boycotting.

      Strawman.

      Its the most important way, but not the only way.

      Definately agree with this. But its not a zero sum gain, an either/or. Both can happen, and increase the odds of success.
