I think we're talking past each other. You seem to be addressing a point I have not made.
A piece of technology is not something that exists outside of a political context. As an example, your repeated use of consumer, as a term for individuals, is interesting to note.
Why do you view these people as consumers, rather than producers? Where is the power in that relationship? How does that implication shape the rest of your point?
Look man I’m an adult, you may talk to me like one
I used the term consumer when discussing things from a business sense, ie we’re talking about big businesses and implementations of technology. It’s also in part due to the environment I live in.
You’ve also dodged my whole counter point to bring up a new point you could argue.
I think we’re done with this convo tbh. You’re moving goal posts and trying to muddy water
I'm not moving the goal posts, I have consistently been talking about workers resisting the capture of their income by businesses mass producing items at lower qualities.
Your previous comment characterising individuals as only consumers is what I was continuing to challenge within the above context.
Either way, have a good weekend.
