Pretty much stop consuming garbage politics from the internet and everything gets better.

Spread awareness, break all the little rules you can, scatter seeds of all kinds across town, refuse to recognize the dollar, point high powered laser pointers at private jets taking off, make up your own gender unique to you and dont respond to bigots who dont use it to refer to you, shit in the driveway of the CEO of your company (especially if you are the CEO), become ungovernable. The social contract is shattered, you owe nothing to them.

One of these is potentially dangerous to others, and how do you not "recognize" your currency? Do you pay for food and utilities with wolfskin and eggs?

Sure, barter if you want and can. Their power relies on the vibes of markets. Line go down is how you really hurt them. Stop buying stuff.

I don't. We don't. Best we'll ever be able to do is keep the future generations in mind as the ship continues sinking. Remember overgrowth got us here and degrowth is possible--Hope must stay everpresent on the horizon of possibilities

Weed and trying to understand what I value and want in my life and how that can be made to happen outside of capitalist structures

Simple. Learn to play that game and try to succeed.

If you get up and just go to work every day expect to fail. Learn to use the stock market. Learn to use options. Start small. Like real small. Don't use real money. Just write down on a piece of paper and figure out your results.

Once you're making money on paper then put in a small amount of money and try. Try. Try. Try. Try again.

You can't stop capitalism but you can use it in your favor.

Knowing it’s better than the alternatives being touted.
