    Per my previous comment which you conveniently ignored in favor of manufacturing your own-

    These smartphones were purchased with money from capitalist companies, thereby fueling the very machine you hate- while also using, and paying for- capitalistic internet services in order to bitch and moan on social media services that also allow connection to and from capitalist countries.

    But by all means. Keep using it to whine about how it’s ruined your life.

            I haven’t deflected shit. I’m right in the wheelhouse of the topic I brought up. Your little cartoons don’t amount to anything worthwhile as they are irrelevant to the topic.

            But by all means. Keep pretending they mean something. My point will remain long after.

              What exactly is your point?

              If it’s “you can’t critique society because you exist in it” that’s beyond stupid.

              If it’s “smartphone are made in capitalist USA” that’s occasionally true, but statistically completely divorced from reality.

              If it’s something else you are doing a terrible job of communicating it.

                My point is illustrating the irony in a bunch of kids crying about capitalism, while seemingly financially in full support of it.

                Don’t like it, you’re free to leave it. Toss out the phone, get off the internet, and live your life as communist as you would like. No one is stopping you.

                But we both know none of you will. So maybe quit whining until you can walk the walk. Until then, I don’t think you have any place asking anyone to take you seriously.

                    My god you people will reach far into the realm of irrelevance to find whatever argument you think makes sense.
