We need to make politicians and corporations fix the issues.
It’s delusional to think people consuming less is going to magically make the free market more responsible. Like Apple sales are going to plummet and they’ll just say, “great, we won’t make as many phones” instead of making worse products that become obsolete even faster to make up the sales. What’s the free market responsible end goal? No one has phones? No one has computers? Because it’s really easy for these companies to brick your devices just with software.
And do we then just have to submit to these corporations? Obviously, no. We need to force them to adhere to rules making our products longer lasting, with better support, without punishing people for not buying new.
“Personal responsibility” is propaganda of the ruling class that refuses to be held accountable. These are global forces creating global crises.
You’re so close to getting it!
