      No don't you get it, having a smartphone is actually way better than being able to buy a house and raise a family with just a high school diploma

        Nothing wrong with smartphones as a concept and many of the things you can do with them are both incredibly rad and incredibly useful

        I'm trying to imagine a world where they would be made solely with public good in mind :sadness:

          The internet is a tool that could easily be used to supplement learning and work the way they pretend it does. Instead it's just used to sell products and hyper normalize the spectacle.

          There are so many things that exist that you can see the ghost of socialism in. Things that were meant to be used in a mode of social production that the early scientific socialists saw so clearly. The world we live in now is a stillborn husk.
