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.
Framework laptops are like $1700
What Framework are doing is good, but pretending they're more than a rich person thing right now is silly. AU$2,800 is not a reasonable price and is well out of the range of most people for a laptop.
I definitely wouldn't mind buying an overpriced product just for the sake of supporting it, but it's gonna be another decade before they ship to my country so it's not a real choice for most, especially the price.
Let's say you do this. Now you just need to buy a slave labor-free phone, car, TV and hundreds of other items. Not to mention you're paying taxes to a capitalist government.
Anyone who thinks you can escape the consequences of capitalism while existing in a capitalist country is just full of it. It's like the leftist version of sovereign citizen nonsense
