a life with no social media and phone, having more DIY, Punk, hacking style and stuff, how is that possible in current years? my ideas are having so low or no use of social media, using Linux or BSDS, having a custom rom at phone (or dumphone) and using alternative sites like image boards, IRC, old/niche forums, going to punk gigs and raves, learn music instrument, learn about cybersec, download music and movies, piracy in general, dress alt, make a personal webpage, using less javascript and using alternative’s to crapitalism.

    All the stuff you’ve listed seems fairly easy to achieve, except “using alternative’s to crapitalism”. Using dumb phones, quitting social media and using open source software is cool and all, but it isn’t going to help you escape capitalism.

      using alternative’s to crapitalism

      I think about this a lot so here are some ideas. I don’t do most of them…

      Alternatives to rent:

      • Squatting
      • Camp permanently (climate permitting) *Big flop house with your friends

      Alternatives to car:

      • Bike (climate permitting)
      • Walk/urbanize (possibly not compatible with alternatives to rent)
      • Moped/ezoomeramabob (some upfront capitalism)
      • Public transit (pay what you want usually unless some fascist shoots you over it)
      • Rideshare/share a car with friends

      Alternatives to food:

      • Freeganism
      • CSA
      • Gardening
      • Foraging (some places have mushroom enthusiasts you can learn from)
      • Hunting
      • COOPs (region specific)
      • Everyone in the flophouse shares a Costco card and eats pb from an industrial tub

        All of these things are still subject to either persecution or influence by capital; capitalism is a government and economy defined by bourgeois control, you can’t just escape it, it needs to affect everything around it.

          Sure, but that’s not what I understood the question to be. The question about the phone was “how do I use a phone while feeling the least amount of gross about it” and I took the part about capitalism in the same vein. Cutting google out of your life is good. Cutting exon and Monsanto out is also good.
