Recently a business that I co-own needed to hire someone and the role is essentially administrative so in actuality it can be done from anywhere. It was suggested to me that we use a foreign company to provide support. This person is politically right and dislikes the shit going on but unironically made this suggestion. I pushed back against it and paraphrasing myself here but told them I get pissed off when I hear about our government doing it, or big corporations doing it, I sure as shit am not going to do it myself even if it could save us some money. We hired an American, albeit in another state. Not only that, I went nepotistic and hired a close friend, someone we both know and trust. Maybe the world will go to hell in a hand basket but if it does, it won't be because I put more fuel on the fire. I can't control the world BUT I CAN control myself and my own decisions.

Reject modernity. Embrace tradition. Be the change you want to see in your nation. Talk the talk, and more importantly walk the walk. Check out of the systems trying to turn us into cattle, and don't water the tree they intend to hang you from.
