How are the people of America supposed to get their power back when all the avenues for change are blocked up by billionaires and corporations owned by those billionaires?

Become nerds, quit smart phones, setup own mail and search engines, hord knowlegde in publicly owned libraries/databases... Basically become Amish but with Techbooks instead of the bible.

But yeah, car companies signing google for navigation, government institutes using google documents/facebook sign in. It's going be hard for a 'normal' person to step outside it all.

So basically you're asking people to stop being consumers, in a society that is geared almost entirely around consuming.

Tough sell, but I don't see another way out either.
