Corporate Disobedience

Activists like to talk about "Civil Disobedience" and "shutting it down." Censorship on social media, divestment from financial institutions...we have ample opportunities to stop participating in activities that harm us and the planet...but we can't even muster that. How many people say "I know Facebook censors stuff...but omg I how will I get pictures from my family"...what chance is there at mass civil disobedience when people today can't even be slightly inconvenienced and do some slight Corporate Disobedience? We aren't serious, and we're getting the world we allow.
