You could. Food is there for stealing. Land is there for growing on. People might shoot at you for trying, but you could.
I'm pretty sure that phrase isn't actually a call to apathy.
I assume you're speaking in jest?
Not attempting to make a call to apathy. On the contrary, I just reject the idea that what you buy from who is leading to any material improvement in society. I think there are much better ways to push for positive change. Like sure, don't buy the thing, but don't fool yourself into thinking you've made a difference. Helping your community/mutual-aid, direct action, these are the sorts of things that I think go a lot further towards resulting in positive material changes.
You know what they say about assuming.
My abstention was based in not contributing to negative change.
