Framework is looking for Linux Community Ambassadors! We are looking for active members of the Linux community who frequently visit Linux and open-source events throughout the year to help us connect with the larger Linux community. Our volunteer ambassadors will attend local Linux and open-source events, meet with other Framework laptop users and potential community members, answer questions, gather feedback, and showcase Framework laptops and parts to those interested.

Not really involved in this conversation, but you are literally calling this guy a smuglord while smugly treating him like he’s an idiot.
The way you’re using that meme looks like smug feelgood self-supporting blanket rejection of any argument as being from a ‘smuglord’.
Grow up. Live your communist dream, but if you try to shove it down someone’s throat, particularly in an inapplicable situation, don’t be surprised if you find yourself choking instead.
You are literally the kind of liberal smuglord this meme is about.
Forgive me, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to engage in some liberal smuglordery :P
I want a society where the capitalist class is abolished, so that it no longer leeches off the labor of the working class.
Very cool goal! I wish you luck. However, to achieve your goals you must be rational and pragmatic. The situation in the context of this thread is thus: we have for-profit company Framework making laptops that are highly repairable, friendly to third party mods, and open source software (all things I hope we all agree are “good”). We also have the rest of the industry, most of which are also for-profit which does not do these things. I view the rhetorically pragmatic choice here, given the assumption that Framework contributes to some higher individual utility compared to anything else, is to support their mission, as opposed to dissing them as that in theory may put people off and they may stay with the less ethical companies instead. Or start your own laptop company that’s even better than framework and then diss them ;)

It is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism.
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings.
