Why Framework Will Never be Forgiven

For Framework to be effective and cheap, they need scale and normies to switch. If that’s through Omarchy, good. If 1 more person can not buy an XPS this year, I’m happy. If Framework and Omarchy gets 1 more person to not buy a license from genocidaire-enabling Microsoft, I’m happy. I think this is orders of magnitude a better outcome, regardless of DHH.

You could just buy second hand laptops and such, but most people don’t, and that e-waste from their new XPS probably ends up in a landfill in MY country.

Framework manufactures in Taiwan, and while their partner doesn’t have a stellar labour record, it’s not Foxconn suicide nets or South Asian sweat shops, or by proxy supporting an actual ethno-nationalist, irredentist state (China).

This Framework witch-hunt is again, mostly upper middle class, liberal, Imperial-core pearl clutching that doesn’t want political power, it just wants to endlessly critique power.
