Solutions: Boycotts, Alternatives, and Advertising

People tend to forget who is really in charge of the world. Quick to point to billionaires and politicians without thinking of how those people got all that money and those positions. We gave it to them of course. Walmart, for example, isn't a mega corporation because they're magical fairies with magical fairy powers, they're a mega corp because people keep shopping there. This is not news to anyone. Therefore if people don't like Walmart the solution is simple, just stop giving them money, right?

Wrong, it's not so simple. Not everyone who supports [insert NWO thing here] does so because they truly want to, often it's because they have little other choice. People have to look out for themselves first and foremost, and that is not selfish or shameful. Realistically boycotts are unable to happen until equivalent alternatives exist to provide those same services. Knowing this, "NWO" organisations have wisely taken actions to make it impossible for such alternatives to be built within their system.

So the solution to that is simple too, just don't use their system, right?

Wrong. There's a big difference between an alternative and a "viable" alternative. An alternative is viable when it is functionally identical to the thing it is an alternative to. In the case of walmart, a viable alternative would have to offer, at least, the same products at the same price. Nothing else matters. If one of these things is not true then it is not a viable alternative and will not succeed in toppling walmart.

Although promising first steps have been taken, the means to create viable alternatives does not exist for any of the current NWO versions. The fundamental problem is that what I like to call the "Free Humanity Movement"'s alternatives are not very user friendly whereas the NWO versions are. With people's lives being as stressful as they are, no one is going to spend the time learning entirely new skillsets just to maybe get some extra control over their life. They're not going to drive around to ten different places to get groceries they could get cheaper at one place just to support local farmers and business. A non tech person is not going to go through the effort of figuring out how to set up their own email server or encrypt all of their stuff. A non engineer is not going to spend the time trying to figure out how to build their own 3d printer. a non gardener is not going to plant a seasons worth of crops in their backyard (if they have one).

Therefore it is the responsibility of those who do have those skills and claim to have any sort of grievance with the world to use them to create user friendly means of independent living. Want private encrypted email servers to become a thing? Make one that just needs to be plugged in and left alone forever. Want more people to be growing their own food,design a fully automated greenhouse and/or gardening robots. Want more people to have 3d printers, make a 3d printer that can completely print itself from common household materials like aluminum cans, plastic bags and bottles, etc that you just load in , push a button, and walk away from.

Boycotts and alternatives feed back into each other, for example, if enough people started boycotting youtube once a week this would put strain onto the platform, making it less economical for everyone. This would slowly drive away even normal people who would then be looking for alternatives. Then the fledgling, not yet viable alternatives would become visible to them simply because they were looking. those alternatives grow and become true competitors. but is it that simple then? Of course not

There's another couple layers, another few roles people sometimes don't realise they can play. Although development
is easily the most important job, advertising the existence of these things is essential. When I say advertising I don't mean billboards or commercials on TV, I mean cultural advertising. Things that are a lot more subtle. things like writing a story that uses some free and open source thing as a prop. Not shoving it in there as blatant product placement but making it meaningful. I mean, the NWO has been doing that for ages, everyone's heard about the sales jump M&M's had after appearing in the movie "ET" right? If it worked for them it can work for anyone.

It is not necessarily true that if you build it they will come, you could build it, it could work, but people may not know it exists or people may just be too comfortable with what they're already using to shift to something new and scary. So cultural advertising is equally as important as building the thing itself. This also includes making the alternative cooler than the mainstream. One mistake I see activists make all the time is that they advertise their alternatives as being all about freedom and independence and all that political garbage.

The average person doesn't care. The average person just wants a quick easy way to feed and clothe themselves and be entertained. If you are trying to win over the masses, that's the angle you need to come from, the economic angle. There should not be even a whiff of political motivation behind whatever it is you're doing. Otherwise you're just preaching to the choir. Wanna sell the idea of mesh networks? Talk about not having to pay an ISP to access or host sites within your meshlocal, talk about the resiliency of the network, talk about the potential to make a little money from running your own community ISP, Talk about how it's completely compatible with the existing internet, that will get peoples attention a lot more than "THE GOVERNMENTS SPYING ON YOU ALL THE TIME DON'T YOU WANNA BE FREE SHEEPLE!?"

Of course, things are much easier to advertise if they actually work, so despite both the technical work and advertising being very important, technical work is just more important.

Boycotts, alternatives and advertising can't be thought of as separate solutions, they must be integrated together as part of a larger project. Everyone is able to do at least two of these in some capacity, boycott and advertise. I recommend starting projects like boycott youtube/twitter/facebook/etc day once a week where on that day you go to the other social media you have and post about it on that day, just a simple thing of "This is my boycott X day post" maybe with a link to a site if someone sets one up for more information so that other people start to see the trend week after week. It also keeps you a little accountable and helps build the habit. This works just as well for not shopping at a chain that you morally disagree with. Maybe there's even one item you can get somewhere else, especially from a peer to peer source such as paying a neighbour for that tomato instead of going to a grocery store. Post about it and how you specifically did that instead of getting it from a grocery store.

Those little things do a number of things. As mentioned above they both boycott and advertise and give you a little accountability. But, more importantly, you get the ability to say you're not part of the problem. You have the ability to wave that in front of anyone who criticises you by saying you're not making any difference. You can shove it in their face and go "well what are you doing? because I'm at least doing this."

Don't underestimate that ability, that more than anything else is what will shift the culture in your favour. A lot of people don't handle peer pressure well, if they see more and more people making those posts, doing those boycotts, they're going to want to join in so they don't feel left out. Use that potential to your advantage. Again, the NWO has done this successfully for decades, popularising terms like "Conspiracy theorist" to make people too afraid of asking questions publicly. Works just as well positively and in reverse. Use it.

Personally, I already boycott google at least as far as searches go, I use duckduckgo. I don't use twitter or facebook. I'm currently growing one chive plant because being blind makes it kinda hard to take care of much more than that. Plus its still winter outside. I'm teaching myself programming and plan to use it for something free and open source that I haven't decided on yet. And I have a few other crazier things that I do.
