You left out the part where alcohol, weed and others are the soma.

The most important soma at this day and age is social media.

I would say apple fans, but it's pervasive everywhere in tech, except maybe not in farming equipment.

That doesn't make him wrong.

He's referring to fanboys.

Farmers get locked in to a brand cause of contacts high costs, but none I know "love" and of the big brands

Who's buying all the John Deere trucker hats and such, then?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

People who have never owned any equipment larger than a riding mower.

Suburban conservatives.

Yes it's wild. I meant wrt fanboyism, John Deere at this point is defacto a monopoly and their newer products are actually less coveted then earlier ones because of the rampant anti-consumer practices.

Maybe stop humanizing/anthropomorphizing corporations? Can't expect a large group of individuals maximizing profits to be caring and mindful.

What? Are you trying to say that corporations aren't people, and that treating them as such is fucking stupid?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

WHAT? Madness! You're speaking madness! Corporations love us! They're people too!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But if they were people, they'd surely be in jail for all the heinous crimes they committed?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Whaaaaaaaaat? Corporations don't do anything remotely suspicious!

As much as people agree with it, they won't do a single damn thing to change their choices. I've been in IT for about a decade and absolutely nobody has changed no matter how much they hate what these terrible companies have done.
