    • Memento Moris etc etc.
  • Delete your parent’s cable news
    • This would be one of the best forms of direct action
    • OUTFOXED
  • Posit: most of the things cited as the glorious result of capitalism are actually not that great and only necessitated by the crap world capitalism has built
    • The Cuba Tweet
    • Ex:// fast food/convenience food
      • We only need it because our lives are so busy
      • It’s not good or healthy or enjoyable
      • We would rather have the time to eat well
    • Ex:// abundance of brand-choice for the same product
