Why does the title say liberals when those are things conservatives say
Conservatives are a subset of liberalism.
They are literally opposing groups. But I guess you’re just a troll account
No, I’m a communist. Liberals do not oppose conservatives. They have disagreements, but ultimately agree on the most major aspects of how an economy should function, ie based on private property rights and capitalism.
God I want one of those tri fold Huawei phones but you just can’t get them in the US thanks a fucking lot US government
They cost waaaaay too much. Most flagship phones do.
Still using my two year old Xiaomi Redmi Note 12. It was super cheap, relatively. Like about 12 times cheaper than the Huawei tri-fold.
They for sure do cost too much but for the first time in about a decade they made a phone I think it’s actually cool consumer tech and something that I want
(People’s Republic of) Samsung is supposed to announce one of those soon. Though who knows if it’ll even be available outside of Asia.
I don’t want a Samsung
No one wants a Samsung, it’s the Burger King of tech
It’s threatening the security of my Apple stocks
i know this will be controversial here but both bad. Technological megacorpos and monopolies have too much power.
Lmao, yeah you should buy a small-batch, artisan checks notes modern smartphone instead.
So fairphone?
I will eventually get it, my current phone still has a lot of time in it but even the fairphone is running android and you need google services if you want to use your banking apps…
I see everyone complain about banking apps not working, and what exactly is wrong with the banking websites?
They often don’t let you in without being registered to an app:(
Go to an ATM ride a bike
And don’t forget American made: https://puri.sm/products/liberty-phone/
Huawei is employee owned. Further, it exists in a socialist economy and is subject to state control, it isn’t Huawei that has power over the economy, but the state that has power over Huawei.
this one hurts; i had to stop using my favorite redmi phone because american carriers have banned chinese phones.
WTAF? The cope of failing at capitalism is real.
i think it’s less about failing capitalism and more about eliminating competition for for high end smart phones since you can get iphone level quality phones at chinese prices.
my redmi was competitive with the $1k+ google pixel, but costed less than half; now it’s an expensive paperweight.
Yes, that’s pretty much what I meant. In theory, the best brands would rise to the top under capitalism. So the US brands have failed without state intervention.
Which model of redmi did you have? I currently use the Redmi Note 12. It’s… okay. I had a previous Xiaomi (can’t remember which model) that I thought was an excellent price for high quality.
Definitely Chinese phones have better specs for their prices, as compared to US/Korean brands. Still, I’m looking for that special deal of a mid-tier-priced phone with flagship specs. Considering getting the Oneplus 13.
Wtf, how do they do that?
They have a blacklist of Chinese phone imea numbers
Can’t you just change it?
spoofing your imea is illegal in the united states, so i’ve been unable to find sufficient documentation on how to do it.
