Being stuck inside a system does not make one a hypocrite to criticize it from within the system. Nor would one act of self immolation achieve anything but dying pointlessly in a fire. The prison guards will merely shovel your remains into a bucket. People like you will continue to goad other miserable prisoners into more pointless acts of self destruction for short term personal gratification.
We’re so deep into the technological surveillance state that people like you can’t even see that there was once a world outside these prison walls. You’ve accepted your fate. Maybe you we’re born into it. Maybe it’s been so long that you’ve forgotten it’s not normal to have all this forced upon us. In this world where surveillance state technology is required, smartphones are now integrated into critical needs of daily life. From government to financial institutions to workplace. You cannot live without it short of going inawoods Ted K style. At which point the prison guards are likely to descend upon your log cabin with the full military force of the state and corporate apparatus.
Ultimately these acts of immolation achieve nothing against the system itself but demonstrate the futility that we’re all stuck inside a prison. Seems like you thought you had a really clever retort there. You don’t. It’s you who are the fool.
Start with your phone then.
If I could get a phone without one I would.
I don’t recall ever having used the damn thing, all it does is stick out like a wart making the phone unsightly and unnecessarily thick.
And the other, even more useless one is just poking an extremely irritating hole on the screen.
They’re probably scratched beyond any usability anyway, since for some reason cases and screen protectors refuse to cover them.
If you want a phone without camera, wifi or audio, just install Linux on it /s

That’s not “in the wild”. Your camera phone on the other hand…
The second you touch someone else’s you better believe they are going for yours.
If you think that someone else’s is in the wild, but yours isn’t, you are just a useless hypocrite.
Are you explaining yourself?
