@yogthos I lol'd, but like, a sad lol
@yogthos JAILING INTELLECTUALS, I SEE.
@yogthos this is basically how I feel about being life and being alive like I asked to be apart of this nonsense pageantry of suffering
@yogthos That guy is everywhere
@yogthos love this. Reminds me of this cartoon
Mister Gotcha | The Nib

Calling out all hypocrisy all the way.

@barubary @Gotterdammerung @yogthos the phone one is a pretty fair gotcha tbf
@tkk13909 Curious! You are very intelligent.
@tkk13909 @barubary @Gotterdammerung @yogthos not entirely. You could be required to have a particular phone by your employer, or have bought the phone prior to learning new information that would’ve stopped you from making that purchase. Would have to be a pretty big reason to throw away a perfectly good phone. Existing in systems and using them, before critiquing them seems like a good way to understand their flaws

@clayrosenthal @barubary @Gotterdammerung @yogthos I hear what you're saying but also,

1. I have friends who are in the Apple ecosystem and I want no part in it based on my limited experience with Apple devices and what I see Apple doing in the news.
2. I don't need to visit North Korea to say that they have an oppressive government. In the same way, I don't need to use an iPhone for a year to understand that they are extremely anti-consumer.

@clayrosenthal @barubary @Gotterdammerung @yogthos And if you're using an iphone for work, I'm perfectly fine with that. My problem is with people like my friend group who seem to think that Apple is the greatest tech company there is and that free(as in freedom) software is just worse.

@tkk13909 @barubary @Gotterdammerung @yogthos ok sounds like you just have beef with some friends of yours. It’s not a catch all gotcha to say someone using an iPhone can’t criticise it from an iPhone.

And I didn’t say existing in a system and using it is the only way to critique, it’s just one of the best. You can say you think North Korea is oppressive, but you are probably less informed on the details than an actual North Korean

@Gotterdammerung That's because it's a direct reference to that comic.
@yogthos This is the experience of discussing capitalism with someone who has bought into neoliberal free market ideology.
@yogthos como el capitalismo
For pity's sake, would whoever left their Canada burning please go and put it out?
