   As more and more companies are going woke, more and more people start getting mad at them while still given them money anyway.
   The good thing about companies going woke en mass is that it creates unique opportunities for indies to thrive.

     @matana You don't need to do it all though.
     If you want to do anything tech related, a city is a better place for that.
     I only provided a few examples among the billions of opportunities you'll be getting to choose from over the next few years.

     @longyap In the case of hospitals, unless you're seriously bleeding, it's perhaps healthier to just stay away from them.

     @ryo It is really hard to strike out on your own and become independent, but any small step you can take will pay dividends the more globohomo crumbles. Anyone who thinks Amazon will be delivering all your shit if you have even the slightest politically incorrect views throughout the coming political upheaval is a fool. Note that it's really fucking hard to be truly self-sufficient, but small steps to increase your self-sufficiency give you an advantage when shit goes down.

     Maybe this is an America-only problem, because Amazon Japan keeps delivering goods to me despite my opinions.
     And I know they know I'm politically incorrect, Amazon is among the corpoes that's watching everyone.
     
     > Note that it's really fucking hard to be truly self-sufficient
     
     Note that it takes will power to get self-sufficient.
     It's possible, you'll just need to do it without already giving up before you accomplish anything.
     Admitted, making your own ISP without having to rely on another ISP or government is next to impossible, but hosting your own websites from your own hardware from your own home is perfectly doable.

     And maybe get yourself out of communist shitholes like the USSA, Kanaduh, Ausjailia, New Xiland, Airstrip One, or the Eww, and move to some 3rd world country where you can pay the government to leave you the fuck alone.

     @ryo Amazon for now still delivers regardless of political opinion. I expect that to change at some point.

     @ArdainianRight @ryo Still, you should try to drop Amazon as much as you can before they start doing it. I usually buy directly from websites. Bonus points if they accept crypto (without KYC). Avoid eBay because they're owned by the same company as PayPal.

     True, I'm primarily shopping offline since I'm freelancing anyway, so all it takes is me taking my note PC with me, work from a random cafe for a while, and then buy what I need in the meantime.
     You often get better deals too, like I can easily find a refurbished ThinkPad X250 in multiple stores in Akihabara for cheaper than I can find on Amazon, plus on Amazon it's everybody's guess whether the notebook is damaged or not.
     
     > I usually buy directly from websites.
     
     This is going to be harder here in Japan, since only the big shops have their own webshops most of the time.
     The smaller ones will either end up going through Amazon, or they'll just have a website with "here's where you can find us, looking forward to see you appear in our store".
     
     > Bonus points if they accept crypto (without KYC).
     
     So in other words, no store shipping physical goods.
     
     > Avoid eBay because they're owned by the same company as PayPal.
     
     eBay doesn't exist here in Japan I believe.
