As a genuine question, what is the best way to combat things like this as an individual?

I will obviously choose not to buy egregious rewrites like this, but Penguin is out maybe ten bucks from my decision on that front.

I've got neither the skillset nor the bandwidth to attempt to organize boycotts or anything, and don't have the pubic clout to call public retribution down on the publisher.

I'm asking because I strongly oppose such whitewashing, and it can feel demoralizing not knowing what to do about it.

(A perfectly acceptable answer might be that, sadly, there's nothing one can do at an individual level.)

I think the most important of it all is not to keep silent about such non-sense. Way too many are afraid to open their mouth, afraid of not offending anyone, afraid of any potentially ensuing discussions etc.

You could stake your reputation on publicly denouncing the change. It may not do much but at least it would have a minute effect.

The answer is that there's not much you can do. The mass man has zero power over the oligarchs of the regime. They will simply ignore you.
