Buy eBooks from authors you support (like Roosh, Matt Forney, etc).
Buy everything else from Wal-Mart or eBay.
Starve them of your $$$.
Just my 2 cents.

Online retail giant Amazon to charge sales tax in Louisiana
Online retailer giant Amazon will begin charging sales tax Jan. 1 on sales in Louisiana, the company announced Monday morning.
An Amazon spokesperson told WDSU in a brief statement that "Amazon will begin collecting sales tax in Louisiana on January 1, 2017," adding to the growing list of states in which orders placed on amazon.com will include a sales tax.
Amazon was responsible for 30 percent of the cyber weekend revenue this year, according to a report from Fortune. The online retailer dominates the arena.
Amazon might not remain an online-only experience. The company is testing its first Amazon Go store in Seattle, a grocery store model in which shoppers scan their Amazon app as they enter.

Great stuff guys. Created a KingsWiki page and compiled all the advice on this thread onto it (as well as that for other corporations etc):
Feel free to add to the list if there are any other examples of Amazon douchebaggery or any other corporations we should avoid.

Supplements - Swanson Vitamins. Zelcorpion got me turned onto Swanson because they're a medium sized, family run business that sells vitamins at orthomolecular doses and does not produce products with artificial sweeteners. Not only do they sell their name brand products, but they sell NOW, Jarrow, Source Naturals, and all kinds of other brands. The price listed is generally higher than Amazon, but they ALWAYS send me coupons via email. Every other day it's 20% this, free shipping that, so it's very easy to make large discounted orders that are on par if not cheaper than Amazon.

Books - Better World Books. You should be buying used books already, because of the price difference, but Better World takes it to a different level by being extremely environmentally and socially responsible while still holding onto low prices and great customer service.

Why the hell should I buy books at all? I'm going to be getting rid of a lot of them because they are a pain in the ass to move and to have. They take up way too much space.
Any suggestion for those who have moved into the 21st way to read? It's a whole lot easier just to have all this stuff on my computer.

I just read them on my phone now. Although it's complete fucking WHORESHIT that e-books are even more expensive than paper books. I mean what in the holy fuck? They have to print a book and then ship it. But I buy some pixels via the internet and that shit costs $15 for a novel? Goddamn.

Yeah I'm severing ties as well. Just got an email last week that states the price for prime is going up to $119 starting in June. Nothing political about my reasons either, because if we really want to break it down, the usury on every single federal reserve note, or virtual equivalent, makes it way back to some slimy motherfuckers. But I digress. It's more practical. Weird how humans will spend money on something they don't need, or for more quantity of an inferior product, while under the impression they're getting a "deal," rather than save said money for something more pertinent or of having more quality.

Plus this. I'm realizing how it's mostly spending money on shit I don't really need but the appeal of the convenience and value was mesmerizing me. Plus I'm going to go out more, stop being lazy and relying on the convenience. Going to implement the ideas in Elmechs daygame hack thread and more.
