15. I am sticking with my consumption patterns

It is my money after all. I have dealt with enough parasitic destruction.
I am childfree, non-religious, vegan, don’t drive, rarely shop and stick strictly with civilian publicly funded science in democracies.

I am even diplomatic where it is not dangerous and leads to misunderstanding of common compunction and civility as engagement with or support of pointless maliciously daft drivel.

I am careful and don’t break instruments or reality not being self serving in thr ways scammers are.

I am doing enough.
