For example, when you buy a used shirt at a local thrift shop instead of opting for a brand new article of clothing sold by a store that supports sweatshop labor, you don't expect that specific purchase to end workplace inequality and put a halt to conspicuous consumption. You buy the used shirt simply because it's the right thing to do.
This mentality counters those who say stuff like: "Why should I use public transportation instead of drive? All those other motorists are still using their cars anyway." Sure...they are. But you're not. 99 is not 100 and you, dear comrade, are doing the right thing.
Whether you aim to recycle your old cell phone or to knock over a cell phone tower--again--it comes down to remaining aware of the institutional framework while still doing the right thing many times a day...all with the same ultimate goal: dismantling a societal system that's relentlessly assaulting our planet and everything that lives on it.
Until the laws are changed or the power runs out, Mickey Z. can be found on an obscure website called Facebook.
