I’m working on the philosophy of boycotting new to me activities. It’s been years since I had Coca Cola, 8 months since I had KFC and I’m yet to have Windows 12. I have a 10 year old twitter account, still active. I don’t wanna say bye to my account.

I know people who boycott so I can empathsize, but the end of Americanism could be a blessing. Society is atomized because everyone tries to be and/or follows an 'influencer' with their own cult of personality. But the competition is about power for the powerful and not survival of the republic or the common good. The civics lesson everyone will live through could turn the tide. Pope Leo XIII explained it better...
"When a society is perishing, the wholesome advice to give to those who would restore it is to call it to the principles from which it sprang; for the purpose and perfection of an association is to aim at and to attain that for which it is formed, and its efforts should be put in motion and inspired by the end and object which originally gave it being. Hence, to fall away from its primal constution implies disease; to go back to it, recovery. And this may be asserted with utmost truth both of the whole body of the commonwealth and of that class of its citizens-by far the great majority - who get their living by their labor. " ( Rerum Novarum 27)
