Only people that dont want to blame the consumers for buying the shit.. are the idiots that buy the shit, which is why they get so incensed when you argue that landfill shovel shit wont stop being sold until they stop buying it.

Stop buying shit, and companies will stop dumping billions into its R&D and advertising. They're not doing that shit to waste money, They're doing that to sell products.. and if you stop buying it, they'll stop making it.

    Yes, this is all self-evident to anyone who recognizes overconsumption and premature or planned obsolescence.

    My point is that advertising and other misinformation makes it extremely difficult for the average person to make rational decisions about technical issues when making purchases, so blame lies much more with companies, governments, and culture than the teeming hordes you look smugly down on.
