Great post. I am, i think, the opposite of your approach to today. I have an Amazon membership and buy everything i can there. Often i buy make obscure purchases (shipping and returns are “free”) keep them a bit, then return them. I rate the service, especially the delivery persons very highly. I enjoy seeing the algo’s buying suggestions and having a game with a thing that’s having a game with me.
Excuse my language, but this fucking algorithm shit makes me puke. I'm going to live on a two-person island where there are no drug cartels and sleep under stars and eat whatever coconut or pineapple falls on my head. If you wanna talk to me you can come visit but you might have to time your visit with the tides. No devices. No electricity. Suggestions?
There are plenty of YouTube videos about expatting in various island regions. There are even some that are technically US territories so you wouldn't need another passport. Although I think it's a good idea to have at least two passports.
One of the things that I like about being old and retired is that none of that shit matters to me. I purchase from Amazon when I can't get what I need somewhere else. I think that I've made one purchase in the past 5 yrs. It seems like those in charge have read Orwell and Huxley and thought they were good ideas and began implementing them.
Right you are Go. We never imagined back when those books were published that they were actually blueprints (regardless of whether that was their authors' intent), no doubt well-studied by the globalist class.
I agree, the answer is rebellion. Turn it all off. Ignore it. Or use it how you like, not how “it wants.” We really need to become skilled practitioners of non-compliance with odious interference.
When the rebellion reaches critical mass, change will ensue. Individuals own the power to choose. So use it. Thanks for your perspective. We all matter really.
I’m fed up with the whole situation myself: the fuckery that’s happened with food, privacy, medicine, art[ificial], communication, money…right down to our ability to peacefully relate to others with differing views. When every aspect of life is controlled, one has to ask oneself: what kind of power is that I’ve got, that someone is so hellbent on trying to control my every move? I must have a lot of power!
In other words, “we’re so f@&ked.”🤣😵💫✌️🤯
Only if we accept it and do nothing. Join the Rebellion Express!

Only problem, brother Justin, is the damage being done to the environment with all the buying / returning.

I knew it! I knew you were secretly the guy behind "it"!

Somewhere in the South Pacific.
Says the man living in the South Pacific.
Thailand isn't the South Pacific, it's SE Asia. Melanesia would be in the South Pacific.
Oops! I meant to say, down there somewhere. 🙃
Vanuatu, Fiji, Tahiti, Samoa et al...sign me up!

If you're getting a lot of flak, it means you're over the target.
The Appaloosapocalypse is right—watching our rich linguistic and cultural heritage get flattened into the beige mush of search engine optimization.
The west has valued enlightenment; and in its wake, cherished romantic interiority. The algorithmic feed spits on both.
