    Outside of farming your own food on owned land, (never mind property taxes) how exactly could someone live without buying shit? “Stop buying things” is not a option for most people in most places of the world.

    Dont get me wrong, it sucks and im down for the revolute but right now, no.

      “Stop buying things” is really just saying “buy fewer things.”

      1. Do you need it?
      2. Do you have something already that works in it’s place?
      3. Can you buy it used?
      4. Can it be repaired?

      If the answer to those is “no”, then go ahead and buy what you need. Exhaust the no-buying options first. Good advice even outside the enshittification conversation.
