I can't get over how fucking stupid this comic is

I can't get over how fucking stupid this comic is.
>Hurr durr, I hate Apple's sweatshops but I'm still going to keep buying their products, giving them more profit and thus encouraging their shitty behavior. All because I don't want look like an outcast in from of my friends.

I’m curious, OP. Who do you think this comic is making fun of?

You complain about comics and yet you post on the cartoon and comics board? Yikes!

Honestly the biggest failing of this comic is that he's got a good point in the case of the first person he criticizes since you CAN in theory buy other phones if you don't like the business practices of the company that made them. It kind of undermines the actual point of the comic.

You hate the comic, yet you propagate it. Curious!

Then in order
>Preston Tucker wasnt black
>The Medieval period wasnt as bad as pop culture depictions

....That's supposed to be Preston Tucker?

People who rightfully criticize leftist hypocrites.

Except all smartphone manufacturers are complicit in resource wars, not just apple. There is no ethical alternative.

Would you be a serf?

You guys are pedants and it's very unsexy

>black person owning a car in 1910

You literally already are.

Im selling my house to be a subsistence farmer. So Id be okay with it. Depends on how shitty the lord is.

Figures.

>no ethical alternative
Don't use a smartphone

LOL

Don't eat food either, don't buy a house either, don't browse the internet or buy online.
All companies do fucked up shit, child labour, poor wages and work conditions, shit like that, is unavoidable.
It's almost like that's the point of the comic.

Serfs didnt exist for that long outside of Russia
Peasants were free men paying a kind of labor rent and usually that left enough time to have your own trade on the side
Not saying it was a utopia but it wasnt starving peasants rolling in filth
A lot of that impression comes from Renaissance writers with a bone to pick or clueless Victorians

Have you researched the business practices of all smartphone manufacturers or are you only saying that shit because you don't want to feel bad about benefitting off of slave labor?

>or clueless Victorians
The Victorians weren't clueless, they just were high off a boundless optimistic belief in INDUSTRY and PROGRESS that got dynamited by World War 1.

It's not too different from how we moderns see even decades past as hopelessly wicked, although in our case it's rooted in social conditions rather than the past lacking industry.

Except leftists idiots buy shit that isn't even essential to their lives. You don't *need* and iPhone but they still buy them anyways.

You see if you owned the land you wouldnt be a Peasant
I think
Maybe some had leaseholds
In any case its going to be 10% of your earnings to me and you have a able bodies male ready for times of war
Weapons practice is after Sunday mass dont be late or you spend it in the stocks

Strawman mocking anybody who criticize modern progressives and socialists

The biggest problem is there’s a lot being said and nothing being done and people think awareness is enough for shirt to get done.

>Apple is evil
>I'm going to keep buying their products though
>No, I wouldn't consider using Android or anything else. It would make me feel poor!
>Also I'm going to forget all this Occupy Wall Street shit in two years and come up with a new belief system with my fellow liberals, and then come up with a new one in two years, each becoming progressively worse

Wow, that is WHACK!

>boundless optimistic belief in INDUSTRY and PROGRESS
Like I said clueless

Exactly. The idea that the way to stop corporations from doing bad stuff is for millions of individuals to change their shopping habits is brain poison. The average person buys thousands of products a year from companies that engage in horrific human rights violations and aren't even aware of most of them. The fact that people in this thread are acting like Android phones are a cruelty-free option is a prime example.

Youd have more money if you spent less of it on bullshit

Alternatively, the U.S. could simply join the developed world and embrace basic social democracy.

The same people who agree with this comic also think libertarians are totally owned when they pay taxes or use any services paid by taxes. Which is why it's full of shit.

False equivalencies. For example, you can eat primarily locally produced food and supplement your diet with a garden, and suddenly that "unavoidable" fucked up shit starts looking a lot more avoidable.

lolbertardians are totally owned by being lolbertardians.

Couldn't this be used to excuse the founding fathers for slavery?

"I argue against slaves despite owing slaves it's just society bro"

Europe can only afford socialized healthcare because it outsources its military protection to the US.

How would that fix unethical work conditions in China

Most of them didn't argue against slavery. And they actually had the power to end slavery. Unlike some random American college student who has zero real ability to change Apple's business practices.

Mmmyes, that explains why the first national healthcare system was in the highly pacifistic state of Prussia.

It doesn't. That's why svccdem gets #btfo by true socialist chads.

Literally almost all of the world in world war 1 and 2, but some more taxes.

"Hello citizens of our new country, now that we have violently overthrown the previous governors we have decided to take away all of your slaves"

Hmmm....
