Didn’t say it was.
But here specifically I’m refering to optimization, as in changes the manufacturer did to either streamline the production and make it more efficient (cheaper) or to differentiate from similar products to make it more appealing.
Surely you chose your devices on some sort of criterea and other people would come to a different choice.
This I believe can only happen under capitalism.
Wait wait, do you think the rest of the world was in perfect harmony until the white man came?
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
Where the fuck do you think African slaves came from? Most europeans didn’t enslave them, they just bought them in the well established african slave markets after other africans and arabs enslaved them first.
In North America, do you think the indians only started scalping when the europeans appeared, or that it was a common practice in tribes that were at constant war with each other?
In South Africa a lot of the land europeans got was payment from tribes for help fighting other tribes.
Did europeans cause extra suffering in the places they colonized? Definitly.
Were those places peaceful before that? Fuck off.
You are using an open source platform, developed without a profit incentive, running on one of the most impactful publicly-funded infrastructure developments of our lifetimes, which is also powered by near countless free-and-open-source tech stacks.
I can almost guarantee every single physical thing you used to type that was the product of capitalism based optimization.
I said in my comment that Europeans made it worse. I was just saying that those places were never peaceful to begin with.
