Why can't people stop buying shit they don't need? Really, normies are brainwashed to buy lots of shit they will never need.
They have a fully working phone, and they decide that they need a new one because the new model has 500 additional MB of ram that they will never use, because they only use their phones for Facebook and maymays.
They could use a $100 chink phone, but no, they need the new iShit, so they will give half their salary to the Apple faggot.
Even if they are so consumerist, they could at least give away their old tech shit to someone that needs it. They could even resell it and get a bit of money for it. But no, it will end up in the fucking dumpster, polluting the soil for the next 1000 years.
Why do they do this shit? Why are millenials with no money for food convinced that they need the new $1500 iShit to browse leddit on an overpriced 4K screen?
The better question: Why do humans treat plastic as a disposable good? It lasts forever, can be recycled, is sterile, easy to shape, and we throw it in the fucking trash!
Imagine that very same landfill but without any plastic.
99% are fucking stupid OP. Nothing new here, It will be like this until you gas IQlets.
Jason Price
I feel you user
Gabriel Gomez
Electronics get obsolete or break over time. Would you still use an iMac G3 like the ones in that dump? That being said, e-waste should be shredded, separated and then recycled. I do agree that people buy way too much consumer electronics shit. I really hate any gimmicky "smart device" since they always end up in a landfills or in a dusty cupboard within a couple years. Really all you need is a phone, headphones and a PC. Maybe also a TV and a blu-ray player if you're not a zoomer.
Isaiah Thomas
>this is the product of globalism >western countries outsourcing their waste responsibilities onto poorer 3rd world countries But muh racism is bad some black person might have their feefees hurt while kids in africa die of toxic exposure from waste from the west because their spoiled american counterparts would rath whine about white people all day instead of bringing to light the injustices of globalism
Andrew Hughes
All that fucking plastic should be recycled instead it's going into the ocean
Adrian Hill
nearly everything can be recycled, but instead they just throw it in a dump and call it a day hey, that's society for ya
Carter James
Because most people are shallow and stupid who willingly dig themselves in eternal poverty in an attempt to hide their financial insecurity.
Jason James
That's liberalism for ya. They feel so smug about recycling yet their municipal gov'ts offload all of it to china or the 3rd world
Lincoln Long
They die by the thousands every fucking day in order to be able to mine the minerals that these snowflake's computers need in order to cry on Twitter about "muh whypipo bad"
Justin Butler
Welcome to mindless capitalism.
Eli Gray
And there it is, another snowflake commie blaming all his problems on evil capitalism
Move your fucking ass to Cuba you pussy faggot
Brody Allen
And that's a good thing.
Matthew Nelson

Nicholas Garcia
>it will end up in the fucking dumpster, polluting the soil for the next 1000 years.
What kind of 3rd world shithole do you live in where they still dump garbage instead of recycling what they can and burning the rest to generate electricity?
Capitalism is fine. Globalism is not. Fucking commies are pro globalism so go fuck yourselves.
Ian Garcia
chinkphones do not work in the United States of America.
it's the actual chinks who prefer iPhones instead of their domestic produced Xiaomi/Huawei/Vivo/Ningong phones
Lucas Robinson
>Chinkphone no work in muh MURICA.
Blake Wilson
What you fail to realize is religious attributes work with capitalism you mong. Catholic and evangelical institutions would never be able to rake in so much loot if capitalism didn't exist.
James Ortiz
It's funny when you ask them what their new phone can do that their old one couldn't. Stumps them every time.
These people go into debt to buy new phones twice a year with their minimum wage job.
Carter Richardson
Yes, it's not like the Catholic church existed two millenia before capitalism was a concept...
Matthew Young
not only that .. shit is repeated in different colors, different types all over the place
in producing this shit, for shitheads within the shit producing system, these are supposed to be the only valid "productive" people .. so what did you achieve today, shithead "well i produced this shit in pink plastic that companies over the road are doing in blue plastic" .. im not a fking shirker .. i earn my living .. but you produce toxic pink shit that is polluting, shithead (etc)
Daniel Jackson
tell Xuan, Lin, Lan, Lon, Qin, Xiao, Chin, Chan, Lam to buy their Chinese phones instead of Apple.
Tyler Ortiz
I must be crazy, because when you look at iShit it says MADE IN CHINA in pretty big letters. As a boomer you might need glasses in order to read it.
Brody Reed
Of course they did but wasn't profitable until capitalism arrived. Why do you think the catholic church is able to help out so many people?
Capitalism for all intents and purposes helps out BOTH the rich and the poor but it's a powerful tool most people cannot control which is why money is not distributed evenly. But that's a good thing because in the end it means only those who work hard enough get to claim to the top prizes. Despite what people tell you all is fair.
Sebastian Diaz
Jesus kicked the communists out of temple for selling trinkets. :^)
Noah Robinson

Parker Powell
Why don't Americans recycle?
Cameron Sanders
This is the biggest delusion people have about capitalism. Just because you suck at capitalism doesn't make it bad, it just makes you a loser.
You can grow up in a poor family and still come out on top if you work hard enough but this is what most people are unwillingly to do and is why they will remain poor until the day they die.
That 400K mortgage,100K collage loan, 30K car lease, 10K credit card, 1K phone lease, contracts, and other loans/leases you have aren't gonna get you rich anytime soon.
James Hughes
>You can grow up in a poor family and still come out on top if you work hard enough I guess that your expertise on capitalism has made you rich, right? Or you are a temporarily embarrassed millionaire like every burger on the internet?
Yes, capitalism is so good that it has made six or seven people richer than the other 7.4 billion people on the planet. (((They))) are so poweful that they can shape your life in every way, destroy your family and your nation, and make you vomit the shit you just wrote --and actually believe kek
Gabriel Stewart
what pisses me off is that people consider themselves to be productive when they produce nothing - they produce fucking garbage
Aaron Fisher
because its value drastically drops when it became easy to make. For example, aluminium was very hard to produce in the past and therefore was sparingly used, but when we discovered how to mass produce it, it became so cheap that we can literally use it as a wrapping container and throw it away.
The real cringe is that you tried to make it about muh tv watching normies and muh apple products as if this board wasn't the perfect example of mindless consumerism. Normies buy stuff based on branding and looks, Jow Forums buys stuff based on tech benchmarks and subculture signaling. Still buying shit you don't need either way.
Brayden Powell
I own several properties, have money invested in bonds and stocks, have my own business and go on vacations whenever I feel like it. When I was 18 I was making less than $7/hour and my parents lived in a 200k home with another family and missed mortgage payments wasn't uncommon.
Anyway I hustled my way through life and though I'm not a millionaire I'm magnitudes better than where I started. Yet when you drive down the street you'll see me in a used landcruiser wearing 2nd hand clothes with no rolex or any jewelery of any kind on me.
A good majority of the time people remain poor because they don't work hard enough. I don't just mean literal work but they never try to save money, invest it, or properly manage it. I've seen so many people drive around in BMWs flashing iPhones and Rolexes but they always complain about how dam high the rent is and how the man is trying to keep them down.
It's this kind of victimization that will keep your poor forever.
Parker Lewis
It's better for the environment actually. You'd have to buy a new chinkphone every year because it's a slow piece of shit with no updates, while iPhones get at least 5 years of updates. The high price limits the consumption, back when there were no 100$ smartphones poorfags like OP wouldn't even been able to post.
Christopher Harris

Nice, I would reccomend you to post your bluepilled shit on reddit. It will give you tons of karma.
Luke Kelly
You know it's true. It's not capitalisms fault people can't fucking handle money and expect to get free handouts for doing nothing. See
Christopher Cooper
itt capitalism shills, nazi's etc > hur hur u dont work hard enough thats y ur poor kys faggot; i've seen people work 2-3 jobs and barely make ends meet in low CoL locations. With that being said, the rich need to be publicly executed; wealth taken, redistributed to lower and middle class. Upper class and oligarchs will fall in line; if they don't, executed. You think I'm liberal, nah; liberals are too much of a pussy to admit that the rich should be executed. I say hang em high on the nearest billionaire's mansion.
Jacob Martinez

God I fucking hate socialist faggots so much. Wah why isn't everyone as fucking useless as me and on the government's tit wah. Give me more gubs I need gubs because I'm a low IQ subhuman wah. Fucking pathetic
> references IQ > doesnt realize IQ is unscientific > ??? > literally a retard kys rwnj You think ANTIFA is socialist? hahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahaahhah Americans don't know what socialism is. If socialism came to America they'd be quaking like they do when their nearest walmart comes into business
Anthony Evans
It's sad, capitalism is the best thing that has ever happened to humanity since the invention of electricity and we all take it for granted. In this system you can actually willingly get yourself out of poverty but you don't. You'll go to the same 40 hour a week minimum wage job and complain how the government isn't giving you enough free stuff while living outside of your means buying things you don't need and/or can't afford. You all remind me so much of my family that call me just to ask for money or for interest free loans. It's sad really.
>so they will give half their salary to the Apple faggot. God, i wish i were able to buy newest iphone for only half of median monthly wage here you have to pay slightly more than 2 wages to afford newest iphone
Brandon Morgan
>capitalism is the best thing that has ever happened to humanity
What if everybody tries to get out of poverty then?
Angel Gonzalez
>capitalism is the best thing that has ever happened to humanity said none of the 40M americans without health insurance >In this system you can actually willingly get yourself out of poverty said no one who took a student loan (or was lucky enough to get one) >complain how the government isn't giving you enough free stuff if you dont like socialism so much, then the next time you need to go somewhere dont use the roads, sidewalk, fire dept, police dept, etc. If you hate it so much then leave you stupid faggot. I actually have a good job you stupid piece of shit; I'm just not so disconnected from reality that I have the > if I can do it, everyone else will have the EXACT SAME return that I did The view that it works assumes that capitalism has infinite resources, etc.
Nicholas Rivera
Not him but isn't capitalism the entire reason you're not in pic related? No healthcare, imagine trying to live on $5 a day.
What do you even do if you get cancer there, just lie on the floor and slowly die?
Xavier Sanders
It's not the capitalism, it's people who are unwilling to work. Even in socialism, there are ways to live better than the others, who those who work harder than the others.
Ryan Gomez
The biggest problem is Planned obsolescence and everything is designed in a way that you won't be able to fix it.

Daniel White
Has nothing to do with the color of your skin. Simply put capitalism made sure that even if you're "poor" you're still 10-100x wealthier than any shithole communistic/socialist country on earth.
Joseph Barnes
Not 100% of Venezuela citizens are complaining. Some of them have a car and a house and probably a couple of USD to purchase toilet paper and bread. If people rely solely on a government to solve their issues, not doing anything on their own, they can die.
>thinks venezuela is socialism > ??? > lel Let me guess, America is perfect? There is no GHETTOS anywhere?
Logan Perez
It really doesn't. America is literally full of foreigners living better lives than any of their countrymen back home. Hell even fucking russians are living lives at least 10x wealthier than where they came from.
I took a business trip to russia and they're using recycled C2D desktops for jobs.

Maybe you should stop watching mainstream news and actually get reports from people in venezula?
Gavin Hughes
Nigga they ain't recovering from shit. About 10 years ago 30 russian rubbles was $1, now it's like 80 for that same $1.
Aaron Ross
Holy shit.

I fucking lived there for 2 decades you retarded sack of shit. I don't need some reporters to know what an absolute shithole my country and its government is. Venezuela could fucking burn to the ground for all I care.
You're a fucking retard dude, this is sad on so many fucking levels. Do you even have a job? You're probably one of those faggy beanie wearing fucks that majors in English and gets money deposited from his fucking parents

Just like venezuela. I still remember the day one of my cousins got a hit on him and got capped. We we're all enjoying a shitty meal in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and this kid in a screamo masks wearing nothing but shorts pulls out a WW1 revolver, caps him, and runs off before the police gun him down a day later.
Easton Thomas
Fun Fact: Aluminium bars were kept as crown jewels by the French royalty, as it was more valuable than gold. Napoleon III had aluminium cutlery to show off to their special guests. Prices dropped like 200,000% after people discovered how to separate elemental aluminium from the other minerals and oxides it was usually found in.
Julian Sanchez
Yeah, that's definitely bullshit, or you went to some hole in the wall and sucked cock for your grades and you do webdev now. Is that right?

Did all the Berniefags leak into this thread? Come to Colombia and lecture all those starving Venezuelan refugees into "it's not real socialism guys".
Jose Hill
Because the Colombians flooding "socialist" Venezuela just some years ago looking for work did not exist.
Kayden Carter
lmao
Matthew Bell
>Columbia, literally a shit nation with nothing going for it except cocaine >Venezuela, nothing going for it except large amounts of oil reserves that the US would love to have While, the situation that venezuela is in is because of socialism (an election where a Socialist was elected to office). It's not actually because of socialist policies. It's because of people who disagree with socialism, so they go to streets and riot and kill people.
Brody Carter
>The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said Tuesday that 1,467 Colombians have been expelled from Venezuela and 18,619 have left the neighboring country of their own accord due to the border crisis that arose 20 days ago.
Never went past 700k unlike what your Chavista "sources" will tell you. Meanwhile literally millions are running away now that the petrodollars have run out, and all that remains is the ghost of an economy fully dependent on imports.
Joshua Morgan
