flat out rejecting modern anything. I have zero desire to buy new phones, computers, new clothes, appliances etc... it's ALL junk designed to fail so I buy again.
I just don't now. I buy nothing and I don't care. subscriptions? get fuked. replacing anything that breaks? hell no.. I'll fix it instead.
I used to like companies, but I've learned they are all criminal scum, liars and thieves and deserve very special treatment. they pushed me over the edge and I will never return and never stop voicing my distrust and dislike for all of them. even in the stores themselves when I have to go buy food... I'm very vocal about how overly priced and absurd everything is to the point where people look at me... I want that, I want others to actively think about it especially when they are in the stores too.
I'm essentially done with 'society' whatever the hell that means
Lol I've found myself doing this as well... "$6 FOR GUMMI WORMS ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FREE COUNTRY."
Preach!!! I tell everyone about enshitification and planned obsolescence. My examples are cereal and appliances... Take a look at the size of the cereal now and watch it for a few months... It won't be the same when you look again but the price will be. Or appliances, you find the heating element goes out quickly on your dryer and replacement is really difficult. Maybe your phone slowed down even though you've done nothing different to it than surf the web.
But when I talk about these I feel so old.
