    Can we get an “AI Oligarch Replacement Service”. That could be super useful.

      tbf this isn’t communist russia or china, if the people hated oligarchs enough they could boycott them easily in the west

      but people like their apple iphones, disney plus, amazon shit

      the people voted the oligarchs into power with their wallets

            Is your meme agreeing or disagreeing with them?

            “Ample ability to do so” is what confuses me about your post. Idk, I guess “ample” is contextually suggestive

            Edit: thinking about it, isn’t the first panel (of the original comic) the very definition of, “act on your principles when you have ample ability to do so”? I’m overthinking it, aren’t I? You were just trying to be snarky back at them… sorry, carry on then

              Disagreeing, the comic is stupid in its comparison of voluntarily wearing headphones and living under an authoritarian government, one is very easy to change (literally just buy an alternative), the other quite difficult.

              isn’t the first panel (of the original comic) the very definition of, “act on your principles when you have ample ability to do so”?

              Why would it be? They bought the headphones knowing full well the company behind them

              If consumers wanted to they could severely punish Apple and go with a company that makes smartphones in the west or not in chinese sweat shops, there are companies like https://www.fairphone.com/ and https://e.foundation/e-os/ and they’re ok, but the demand just isn’t there, hence the memes

              The people have voted with their wallets and are ok with billionaires and slaves making iphones

          instead of blank expressions maybe use your brain to argue your case?

                  That’s not the number of people using Amazon, that’s the number of people paying for a premium subscription service on top of their Amazon usage. No one, whether they buy things on Amazon or not, needs Prime.

                  That is the point they’re making.

            I included the important concept for you to Google if you were curious. I feel like effort posting at you would be a waste of my time.
