   Do you know what a continued angry customer, and a paying protester, have in common?
   
   They're all empowering the corporation by giving them their time and money. So ultimately, your grievances mean shit.
   
   Corporations speak only 1 language with 1 united voice, and that is, money. You want change? Stop giving them money, and you'll see a world of difference.

     The problem is that this "voting with your wallet" solution isn't really a solution since corporations control everything people need to live. There's only so much that people can refuse to buy when corporations own the means of production that are used to make the necessities of life. An actual solution would be for the people to take control of the means of production from these corporations and convert it into social property for everyone.

     Do you even understand monopolies or franchises? The reason why it's sometimes more convenient to use only one corporation for everything is because the corporation has completely or near completely crushed all of its competition or has made it nearly or completely impossible for people to use any other corporation. You seem to be blaming the victims of corporations instead of blaming the actual corporations and the system they operate in.

     @Radical_EgoCom@mastodon.social Want and need are two different things, and often people make excuses to justify their wants.
     
     For example, people need privacy, but want the convenience of using 1 corporation for everything. Then they complain how unfair that now empowered, and wealthy corporation is spying on them, selling all their information, and their CEO is funding racist fascist with the money everyone gives them. They can avoid all that, by going elsewhere, and that is what they need to do, but they want someone else to change than themselves.
