Practically speaking, we have the choices that one monopoly or another offers us, and only so long as those choices are convenient for them.
I do avoid corporate overreach where it's practical (I have a dumb TV/vehicle/appliances/etc), but there will come a day when it's impossible to participate in society without giving in.

- ifyoubuildit 3y agoI'm happy enough with my life. But yours seems like a very ... I don't know, defeatist? point of view. You make it sound like I can either have the stunted over commercialized shovelware thats on offer or I can choose to go live in a hut in the woods. Where's the middleground where we put a little market pressure on our corporate overlords so they make better widgets?
