I will learn how to build my own refrigerator before submitting to this IoT bullshit.

I'll just return to tradition and dig a root cellar.

Hey more power to you. Not everyone can do it but this is an example of direct action.

We don't all have to do the same thing, we just need to hurt their profit where and everywhere you can on personal level.

If everyone did it, it would hurt the parasite.

Best recent example is EU and CA "social drinkers" opting out of US poison.

So clearly it works if enough people do a thing.

Surely anyone could just not have a fridge, don't buy things that require it.

That's an edge Lord take. I am all about direct action but I don't think this strategy is valid for gen pop lol

But personally I drew some lines in the sand and sufferthem 🫡

If everyone did a fee, the world would be a better place. But it is very much a personal decision shaped by the material conditions.
