    Meme is horseshit. Sure you can say the workers meticulously planned out the obsolescence, the workers programmed it to harvest your data, the workers did the work of locking it down to make it near impossible for users to modify to their liking, but be real the workers never would have made those innovations without pressure from the economic system they exist in. The iphone as it exists today is a quintessentially capitalist invention.

    First of all fuck capitalism. Second, I don’t think anyone believes capitalists literally made the iphone, I think people argue that the capitalist enables innovation which again enables iphones (which probably isn’t accurate either).
