Americans unknowingly are one of the most conformist people on earth. Corporations serve them junk and they lap it up without inhibition. Commericals feed their brain with manure and they thrive on it as the best "consumers" on the surface of the earth. Hypocrite Republicans stir up "patriotic sentiment" in people who fall for it. You don't need creepy bigoted conservative neanderthals of the Republican party telling you how to be a patriot. Patriotism is not about stupidly waving the flag while you're being impaled every which way. But that is exactly what the MAGA-GOP criminals are doing. They wave the flag in your face while screwing you from behind.
American consumerism drives the economy, that's for sure, but the economy does not benefit American individuals. It benefits the big corporations. It's very similar to a farm stable where the owner (corporate America) keeps his sheep (the American people) in a pen and serves them hay. That is what "domesticated" means: to be sedated into believing that "freedom" is to be a captive audience unable to choose alternatives to the fallacious made-up "American way of life".
ABC caved to the Trump administration, and suspended Jimmy Kimmel in September. In reaction, people pulled the plug on Hulu and Disney+. Less than 24 hours later, Kimmel was back on the air.
After the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol Building, U.S. firms (Walmart, Home Depot, AT&T, to name a few) announced they would no longer support Trump or fund his allies for moral reasons. But then when the dust settled, they resumed their support and their funding.
If Trump pressures the media to bend the knee and compromise their journalistic principles, Americans should cancel their subscriptions and turn such outlets off. If colleges and universities bow down to the White House, Americans should discontinue making charitable gifts to those institutions.
"Stop eating at Cracker Barrel. Stop shopping at Target and Walmart. Call out Home Depot’s hypocrisy. Cancel Amazon Prime. Sign out of Meta. Pull your money from JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs. Ditch AT&T," says
"What generations of men and women have fought for, died for, is hanging by a thread. Resisting with our money has to be the battle plan — the blueprint for victory. We are going to have to be okay with inconvenience. We’re going to have to function without Instagram and “House of David” if we believe what’s happening here is wrong."
"As soon as corporate America feels its bottom line threatened, millionaires and billionaires will pressure the Republican-led Congress to put Trump in check at last. And when that happens, we will resume our relationships with retailers and media outlets and tech firms."
