        Except instead of carrying sticks, you carry slave labour made Iphone while being 10x more aware of your environment. I guess its almost the same…

          you carry slave labour made Iphone

          It’s funny, because we’re allowed to import the Hong Kong / India manufactured iPhones, but we’re forbidden from importing Chinese mainland manufactured Huawei phones or Dutch designed / Chinese manufactured Fair Phones. Nevermind the conditions under which the two kinds of phones are manufactured. Nevermind who primarily profits from their sale. Nevermind their quality or cost.

          You’re only permitted to purchase/use devices that benefit domestic market interests.

            I think fairphone is more adamant on fair conditions even if it is manufactured in China. Dont they just not want to support US for now?

            You most likely can get a decent phone manufactured in decent conditions if you want and dont even need to overpay yourself as much. I have been eyeing Gigaset because it is made in Germany.

            Despite that, even most of the people here dont. Little peasant with “sticks” is a bit hypocritical when you have maximum awareness and an ability to start making order in your close proximity.

              More that US Carriers deliberately stick to non-global-standard frequencies in order to raise the cost of outside competition.

              You most likely can get a decent phone manufactured in decent conditions if you want

              If you can, I haven’t seen it. Modular phone development in the states has been dead for ages, thanks to the cartelization of domestic manufacturers. And US manufacturers have been exiting China in large part because they can get even lower labor prices in poorer nations across the South Pacific.

              Little peasant with “sticks” is a bit hypocritical

              Here’s the original comic

                But you can use them with t-mobile based on a faq about fairphone 4 (most likely 5 as well). That makes sense since they are a german company and Im not sure they would make it that hard on themselves.

                See amazon.de. I switched delivery to US and both gigaset and fairphone can be ordered there. There is also teracube which is US based. Also there is Volla which is based on gigaset phones.

                Here’s the original comic

                The jury is still out on that :P.

              I’m tired but what exactly are you not understanding if you’ve parsed the previous two examples of the same joke? Is this some bizarre troll?

              “Some shithead is trying to undercut complaints by claiming hypocrisy because the complainer is engaging in or using the thing complained about”?

                Well, when you put it in that way, I understand it!

                I was only getting a thought of “You cannot survive if you have no society” before!

      It’s annoying when it’s used as an excuse for mindless consumption, rather than a call to abolish capitalism

        That’s so unfair to orangutans. They’re gentle, empathetic creatures and even the worst of them would make a far better president. Unfortunately they can’t run in the US because they’re not native citizens. Perhaps one from a zoo could.…

        You know what, fuck it. We should nominate Simon Skjodt from the Indianapolis Zoo. I’ll bet at least some of trump’s followers wouldn’t notice the difference.
