The title may sound weird. I initially wrote it as “fuck over the billionaires”. But it is not only billionaires, but also multi-millionaires and people who think themselves hierarchically superior.

So:

  • Are you doing something to fuck over “the powerful”? If so, what?

    Similar to what OP is doing - minimizing consumption as much as I can, and being selective with sources when I have to. If I need something, I try to buy used first.

    This includes, but is not limited to, avoiding US products and services. I still have investments, but try to focus on ESG as much as possible (though I’m aware that participating in stock markets etc is problematic in itself, but I don’t have a lot of choice in the matter).

    I’m also trying to move away from a profit/monetary value maximizing mindset, and want to focus on sustainability, durability and social benefits.

    In reality, these are all goals that I often fall short of. But I want to keep trying and get better.
