how can something be so courageous and yet so true

Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you're still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying "well I buy a cheap used laptop" or "well I buy coffee beans and make my own coffee" are completely missing the fucking point.
Don't tell yourself your consumption is moral. All of us make unethical choices every day because there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Accept your shame and guilt and let it drive you to do better.
It's often hard to judge the level of privilege someone has but today you've made it real easy.
Go fuck yourself with that shit. There's plenty of laptops that aren't bulky and aren't Apple products, but not that many that aren't bulky, aren't Apple products, have self-replaceable parts, and are affordable.
