if people stopped giving all these corporations their age or id/kyc info and just canceled their subscriptions or accounts for 4 months we'd see how fast they stop asking once those next quarter results show up.

governments would wake up pretty fast with less VAT, GST, and Tax revenue, too. you give them an inch and they will take a mile. cut that inch and cut their source of revenue, and they will all fall in line.

that is the only solution to all these stupid laws.

@nixCraft wanting less, buying less. Capitalist economies usually prefer that we don’t reassess our needs vs our wants. It’s very effective for many other issues like environmental impacts of consumption for example.

You've nailed it.

When I was a kid the mantra was 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle' but corporate pressure has removed the Reduce & Reuse part (which honestly are the most effective, recycling should be the last resort)

@RantingCanuck @coleenwalter Unfortunately, the wealthiest Capitalists have effectively infiltrated educational systems, to further entrench 'single-solve mindsets', that help deter the scalable behavioral ranges required to achieve eloquent civilization.

This is why Democratic Socialist movements are building. It's that 'sustainable middle'.
