Yeah, that is not disassociating, that is enabling.

Yes use a significant portion of your meager income to get you that dog hat from a private seller 2 states over.
I'm generally against our overconsumption culture and have been critically evaluating what I need.
That being said the corporations have us by the balls. They priced out the competition and lobbied to keep our wages low. So we have to evaluate between having less of whatever you buy from the "little guy" or buying from the corporations. For the majority it's a matter of surviving. If you buy from a small seller their supply chain or the product they produce is in some way coming from a mega corporation. We are truly fucked
And no you don't need a dog hat, but I acknowledge sometimes you just want to buy a dumb little thing to make this shit time feel a little bit better.
I guess my point is it doesn't make much of a difference if it's Amazon, best buy, target, or Walmart. They all lobby for us to get fucked and that fucking keeps us dependent on them.

A small mercy of losing your country to oligarchs is that you're under no obligation to save them from themselves. Well, until the mandatory conscription stage, anyway.

That's history repeating once again. The rich abuse the poor, pick a fight, conscript the poor and are then shocked when the abused farmers would just stand aside when the attack came. Smart nobility knew this is a two way even street.

When did that happen (the abused farmers standing aside)?

The World at War is over 30 hours if you can stomach the western bias. They interview like Winston Churchill's driver and Hitler's secretary.
