For sure, but even amidst all these “choices” each purchase gets funneled up to like 3-6 companies.
However, at least in my area, I've noticed some cracks in the concrete: a small coffee shop here sells mennonite baked goods, a little outdoors store over there sells home made lip chap.

Things are opening up, for sure for sure.

Agency, Autonomy, alternatives.

Beyond a call to #BoycottProfit, I would instead posit to counter all of the #ClimateDenier rhetoric by becoming a #ProfitDenier.

Open up every front against capital!

@Flare @jlou @aeleoglyphic I actually do use a credit union. I could do better being selective about the other places my money goes. I made a post recently about boycotting profit. I think ultimately this is the most effective option, if only people can be stirred up to embrace it. It's the cultural shift, more than anything, which is the most vital ingredient.

That's also why I'm a big fan of Mastodon. It's a cooperative/social/bottom-up system by nature, thanks to its federated structure. This gives people a real world taste of what socialist systems have to offer. If only they realized where that delicious flavor is coming from, they'd me more inclined to season everything with it.
