Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you’re still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying “well I buy a cheap used laptop” or “well I buy coffee beans and make my own coffee” are completely missing the fucking point.

Don’t tell yourself your consumption is moral. All of us make unethical choices every day because there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Accept your shame and guilt and let it drive you to do better.

    You keep defending them, the modern pioneer of planned obsolescence, the company that deliberately works to make their products unrepairable. I’m amazed they didn’t invent the disposable vape.

      Nope, I keep explaining why people are buying their products. It’s not my fault you are taking my explanation of what other people do personally enough to make up lies about me and use them as insults.
