Yeah, at first I was going to agree that it’s sad that the general population doesn’t care much about slave labor in their iPhones as long as it saves them money and doesn’t get blood directly on their hands.

But then I think that is kinda true of the whole phone market.

But then I think that is kinda true of the whole everything market!

And once again a Lemmy comment comes to the conclusion that capitalism is the problem, lol.

But Apple is the most valuable company in the world, and therefore is the most capitalism, so I guess that makes it OK again to single them out.

    Yeah, if only we could have a revolution and Marie Antoinette some of the slave owners.

    For the longest time I never thought I’d see anything like that. Most people were too comfortable. Some always had too little and some too much, but it wasn’t going to upend society.

    But lately, sheesh. It seems both more likely and more necessary. I can’t tell what is increasing faster, the anger of the working class or the brazen indifference of the owner class.
