Literally just referenced this elsewhere to make the exact same point.

Well, no. But I do believe corporations rob us of our dignity and independence, and that these systems must be ripped down, burnt down, or leveled by any force necessary.

Corporations make things easy so when you have to learn how to do it on your own, you'll see that the cost of time/money/effort as too great and go back to the simple, effective, easy, low-cost corporate solution.

In many ways, it's not really their fault, it's driven by corporate control. Of course, it would be nice if they could break free and see that learning how things work is a useful means to an end (fuck, it's why I know how to sew and have clothes that have lasted over a decade), but you can't win over everybody.
