Benjamin Lay would not break bread with a slaver, and he would flat out leave and never speak with them again.
Lay invited a married couple's son to his home, making them panic all day of their missing child, and then revealed to them the boy is safe, but this is the experience of their young Black girl slave's parents from having their daughter stolen and enslaved.
Lay protested in September 1738 at the Quaker Meeting House of Burlington, New Jersey, during the Philadelphia area's biggest Quaker annual meeting event, throwing off his coat, revealing a military uniform and a large, gleaming sword. This was a drastic statement in an event filled with absolute pacifist Quakers. Lay decried the evils of slavery and hypocrisy of the audience who practiced it. Lay produced a thick book, inside of which was hidden a bladder filled with red dye made from pokeberry juice. With a dramatic flourish, he impaled the book with the sword, and fake blood ran down his arm, which he spurted on the slave keepers all around him. Outrage and clamor filled the meeting house, and several men grabbed Lay and carried him bodily from the building.
A year before Lay's death, a resolution was passed in the Philadelphia yearly meeting that would discipline and eventually disown slave owners from membership in the Society of Friends. Lay was able to pass away in peace knowing the seeds of the political movement he pushed, almost alone for his entire life while he was mocked and ridiculed, bore fruit.
Be like Lay, even if revolutionary change doesn't come within your lifetime. Be the one to sow the seeds of the death of bourgeois society. Be militant. ✊
Honestly, I feel like I have no hobbies, even video games. I feel like everything I do is for the purpose of me escaping Autistic burnout. I play video games to lessen the burnout. I garden to reduce expensive food costs. I learn programming for the sake of escaping my ludicrous job. I build computers in order to work on servers and applications to build a portfolio for work. I spend time with my spouse to, once again, reduce burnout. I participate in PSL to hopefully help push for revolution in the future. I practice guitar to ease my burnout and to build a skill that would allow me to creatively support PSL by playing music in rallies.
I yearn to learn an esoteric language, build Linux From Scratch, design a PCB, practice soldering, learn a CAD scripting language like OpenSCAD for 3D-printing, play board games with friends, go hiking and biking, learn another spoken language, read fiction, finish my drawings and paintings, or anything else just to have fun with no long-term goal in mind. I'm so tired.
Meanwhile they grumble about China's successes and believe the cCp is doing some conspiratorial shit to look good in the Olympics.

You're not up to your challenge
For your past is stained with shame
And the rifles of heroes have spoken;
Never, never to America!
To be fair, it would make sense to divide megalopolises from large rural areas to create more proportional states for a functioning and equally representative democracy (as in a council/soviet democracy (or other forms of the dictatorship of the proletariat), not the plutocracy of the US). Beijing has a population of 21.9 million, while Wisconsin has a population of 5.9 million, so even as a city, Beijing is much larger than Wisconsin. It's an imperfect analogy not because Beijing is a city, but because Beijing is much bigger than Wisconsin, so in this regard, I would consider the analogy close enough.
Not a brand, though this answer will not help if you or someone else needs new clothes, but surviving with the clothes you already have and limiting your funds to support potentially genocide-supportive brands as well as limiting money circulating in one's imperialist country is an act of protest and is something to keep in mind if the option is available.
This option works for me because I kept so many clothes my family and friends gave me over many years, continue to wear the same few set of clothes until they are in shreds, and continue to use them for dirty work clothes and/or make plans to turn my old graphic tees into a blanket or curtain. I probably should get rid of clothes, but I kept them because they helped me save money. I am a bit of a hoarder, which is influenced by my poor upbringing.
Also buying second-hand stops money going directly to the businesses that made said products, and I always try to find anything I want or need to buy used, whether on eBay, at a thrift store, at a garage sale, from a friend, etc. first before resorting to buying it new.
I typically buy clothes at my local thrift store, especially if my work clothes rip or a zipper breaks. My mother has helped me sew some of my work clothes when I was really busy and really didn't want to purchase more clothes.
Socko just needs to work on being a better comrade.
I agree. Keep in mind anything I post I may or may not agree with, and I am always willing to change my mind with feedback I get from here. I post things here because I am interested in listening to discussion.
I'd pick Valve over most game companies, but they are still a company, and I predict Valve will become worse over time unless they are bought or go under as the tendencies of capitalism lead toward greater monopolization. I have accepted that everything that I like and was produced in a capitalist system will be rotten and spoiled eventually.
I was going to create responses in a text file anyway just in case. Thank you for letting me know. If I ever have the time, I would be interested in contributing to the website with my programming skills.
I plan on creating responses for the questions to make an account eventually. I do long for working with a more principled and organized "party" than my own.
Doing a GPU passthrough or a single GPU passthrough if you have the hardware to do so. VM obfuscation is also handy but can still be risky for kernel-level anti-cheat games, so I don't recommend doing so to avoid anti-cheat. I like using QEMU and libvirt with virt-manager.
This just increased my revolutionary optimism tenfold.
