​@@PwnopolisI think my man has a point. Even if you endeavored never to drive again, millions of other people still would, and it's because big oil has created a world where people are very dependent on private transportation. The problems that exist in this world are systemic, and as such, I would argue they need to be solved from the top down, not the bottom up. And to be clear, I'm not saying that we shouldn't bother making small concessions like riding the bus. Support public transit, it counts.

Then there's cannibalism, the classic "eat the rich" taken literallly. Another option is 'Walkaway' (where large parts of societyjust quite any part of society that benefits billionaires). You can't become a billionaire without assets, so a society wide lack of respect for asset ownership would also solve this problem. You can't make money from house market manipulation if nobody pays rent and nobody enforces landlord rights! Some of these are harder than others, but they're all effective. Oh, and sidenote?
