It is not always a practical response, but just not using things that we do not like is also a way to make things change. Too often, as consumers, we accept bad behavior just because we expect it. It just teaches the companies (individuals, politicians, etc.) that they can keep pushing the things they want over what the consumer wants. Blaming a cog (for something the machine wants anyway) is tantamount to scapegoating. The machine will change out the part for one that more or less serves the same purpose.
