Whether it’s a form of note-taking or regular repetition or the like, what are some self-education techniques and tools you’ve developed to help yourself learn on your own?

It’s always interesting imo to read about how some folks teach themselves different stuff.

Don’t buy things from Amazon. Go to your local book store, or direct to the website of the book you want to purchase.

Have you heard of Bookshop? For physical books they seem a decent option, albeit their reach is limited at the moment to the US, UK, and Spain.

Outside of that, and suggesting folks check their libraries, I’ve nothing else to add to your good suggestions.

Amazon is a union busting company. They abuse their employees, they underpay them, they’ve taken advantage of communities they have distribution centres in, etc etc etc.

How can you be on the internet and not know the issues behind Amazon as a company…?

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Everything you buy and consume in some way shape or form is going to exploitation.

This type of attitude is a distraction from actual change. Similar to individuals telling others to lower their carbon footprint. Fact is, until the people who actually run the world decide to change - nothing is going to happen.

“Carbon footprint” was a genius PR campaign by BP. Take away blame from companies and government’s lack of regulation and put it on individuals.

A regular working class person is going to purchase the cheapest and most convenient product. Don’t blame them and instead focus your ire on the people actually responsible.
