For example, there’s no easy way of bypassing ads on YouTube mobile. But a lot of them don’t actually say the product name. Refusing to look at it is my one, small, micro resistance.

    thrifting all of my clothes, pirating all the media I consume, and using ad block and blocking trackers. also when I was in high school I always let people copy my homework, not sure how much it helped lmao, but it made me feel like I was sticking it to my school when I absolutely despised it and thought homework shouldn't exist (which I still strongly believe, the school system fuckin sucks)

            yeah it's important to distinguish between education and school. school is the problem because it actually hinders real education, just like you were saying before! I'm all for education, just when it is consensual and non-coercive

          School is so cookie-cutter too. Certainly a product of industrialization. Imagine if people could actually learn what they wanted and not be held to some imaginary standard.

          School, instead of making you more curious about the world, makes you less curious. What you learn is decided for you, how you learn it is decided for you. You are given no autonomy. As a result of this people start to associate learning with a lack of autonomy and begin to hate it.
