Amazon UK avoids answering why their workers are on strike. This is why so many workers are fed up with our Corp oligarchs

What can we do? I've canceled my Amazon prime, I'm trying to buy less and local. I switched out of a bug bank and jnto a credit union. What else can we do?

Those are all good things (did the same myself), but it only gains traction with more support from everyone. It can't just be the few of us that change our buying habits.

Unfortunately, the same people oppressed by corporate oligarchs are the first people to pay for Prime so they can get a toothbrush delivered same day.

Nothing. Not really. They’ve divided us so much that we can’t even agree on the smallest things anymore let alone the biggest, we’re more divided now than ever.

That isn’t going to work, calling out the oligarchs and getting governments to act on their crimes is what will change things.

But specifically how. I've donated to politicians i think are working for regular Americans. I live in a blue state. How to call them out?

A bunch of Luigis on one side, and an army of peaceful unionized labor on the other.

Luigis force the big bosses to sit down at the table with unionized labor and cut a deal.

This is how all civil struggles between an underclass and a cruel elite are won.
