    I’d argue that the most meaningful action an individual can take is to stop buying from corporations. That would disrupt the oligarchy and put money back to the local community, assuming you then shop local. Everyone I talk to about this idea says they can’t do it because it’s too expensive, and then they go on vacation four times a year to extravagant places. People will bring their own bags to the grocery store and shower for five minutes instead of six, but that’s about it. Disrupting pleasure and luxury is not an option for 99% of people it seems.
