One day at a time, one thing at a time
Your point is very valid though, you could personally do everything right, but your co-workers, employer, friends, family, the people you live with, your school, the local supermarket etc will still completely fuck you over.
The best we can do is put the effort into what we can control, and hope that we have a positive effect on those around us.
You should also know when you are right, and respect yourself for that.
Moving away from windows, google, amazon, meta, twitter, spotify, whatsapp etc is not difficult, deal with those easy things first.
