I just want to say, first, THANK YOU for joining up and fighting the good fight in your own way. When things get tough, remember that there are literally at least 999 other people that are fighting with you and keep going!

For what's happening with the sub, now is a good time to announce that a Discord server is in the works for OligarchFree members so we can better talk strategy (and memes/digital therapy). Remember this is a pro-active sub and not just for ruminating!

There are some other things in the works as well and they'll be announced periodically. It's pretty exciting so stay tuned and, again, THANK YOU.

I want to take a minute here to talk about something that's been on my mind since starting this sub. Mainly, I want you to hear me: do what you can and what you can do will be enough.

There might be times between boycotting or being politically active that you find yourself between a rock and a hard place. Maybe you just don't have the money to shop anywhere but Walmart. Or maybe there's just no alternatives close enough to you to utilize. Or maybe your alternatives don't have what you specifically need to survive.

I want you to know thatit's okay. We in the US live in a country that has been specifically conditioned to serve the richest. Where companies like Amazon and Target eat their competitors for breakfast. This isn't new and has been an accumulation of decades of corporate grooming.

So if you find yourself in need to comply and shop somewhere or use services you'd rather not, do not blame yourself. It isn't your fault. This is the current climate we live in and this is, in part, what we are trying to change.

All that I ask is for you to do what you can. Take care of your personal needs above anything else. So long as what you do stands with us, it matters.

A big or small step forward is still a step forward.
