They don't need to, because they know they can count on us to keep buying from them even as we complain about them.

I suspect your internet provider is a loonie leftest organization as well, maybe even your electric provider but here you are still using them. We don't choose to support them we are forced to use them because no conservative had the foresight to create Amazon. WalMart was created by a conservative that raised a bunch of leftest kids, which seems an almost inevitable outcome in our society today.

I use Amazon because the items I purchase there are unavailable to me any other way.

My take—we live in enemy occupied territory.

We need to act as people have done throughout history in such situations.

Be polite, live well below your means—and do the best you can to boycott what works for you.

You don’t need to justify what you do because you stopped caring what anybody thinks anymore.

You are in enemy territory—and nobody in power cares what you think anyway.

Maybe. I need electricity and the Internet, but I don't need their TV service. I agree with your point that we can't get away from them entirely, but I only need the Internet and electricity. I don't need their TV service or the leftist media that I would be paying for with it, so I cut it out. I don't miss it.

I have no idea what you get from them that you can't get from someone else, and I won't ask you to give out any personal information, so I'll take your word for it. Everything I need I get from other sources.
