Hey fuck face, I didn’t ask to be born here, and there isn’t really other things to buy in America. So fuck you and the anti-solidarity horse you rode in on.

Americans while their unionization efforts are being destroyed: guess I'll buy another iPhone/venti latte/amazon product/...

You didn't ask to be born there, but you don't have to belong to the group of Americans that consume without any regard.
Also, how is knowingly buying products from anti-union companies a "leap of logic"? Do you even know what that means?
You don't need to buy Apple products to function in society, nor do you need Starbucks products, nor do you have to use Amazon. There are small local retailers you can support, as well as fair trade products, second hand goods you can purchase, and a lot more.Friggin' iPhone lovers get triggered so easily.

Yes, let’s all give up on labor rights if at any point the only reasonable option is to buy from a corporation.
You might want to familiarize yourself with the concept of whataboutism so you can at least make logical arguments on your hot takes.

how do you get a well paid job without a computer and phone?
MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 6 months ago
Having worked in an environment helping people who either didn’t have either, or didn’t know how to use them, and needed jobs…I discovered basically the answer is somewhere between “Wait outside at Home Depot” or “You don’t.”

Actually my wife worked for a company that used iPhones and provided her a phone. I suppose, at the point she was worried about job precarity and got a separate non-work phone, she could have gone android (the principle offerings of which are also FOXCONN made) but she was quite busy with an agenda from her company (to which she was loyal).
I, in the meantime, had no company phone, and was on a tight budget, so I went android and shopped around, not for a fair-trade phone but for one on opportunistic sale, as I can’t afford a conscience.
Apple sucks. But really, so does Google. So does Sony. So does Samsung. So, evidently, does Asus, though I like their interface choices more.
In the end, we
consumersend-users don’t have the political power to influence the market when the government fails to be public serving. (Called government failure since that’s Its alleged job.) It’s why we erected a non-feudalist government in the first place.Blaming iPhone users is like blaming car owners in the States, when the automotive and fossil fuel industries systematically dismantled mass transit nationwide.

You think you’re so clever. You aren’t.

I don't think I'm clever, I think I'm right.
Most Americans consume without a second thought. It's not a surprise they are the biggest polluters, consumers, and wasters on the planet.
chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 6 months ago
Yeah, no systemic issues at play here. Just the majority of Americans being individually shitty for purely personal reasons.
atro_city@fedia.io 6 months ago
Yes, blame everything on the system. Americans are just drones guided by the system by a deluge of ads, indoctrination by the media, school, and government. Taught to consume from the day they exit the womb, every American mindless follows the lifescript incapable of individual thought. A nation of puppets blabbering about freedom, being #1, and the American dream.
Sure, if that's what you want to believe.
