If they want to make new scam tech data stealing planned obsolescence trash, fine, and idiots can buy that shit. But then they have the audacity to FORCE us all into it by outright destroying anything else.
Best example, cars. You cannot buy a good car anymore. They are rolling malware that is unfixable by the user and planned to fail. Not to mention, controlled fully by the government/billionaires.
Thats why ill be keeping all my old cars and repairing them, probably forever, since there will never be a good new car again.

That’s because there’s no competition. Capitalism requires competition. Adam Smith thought it was the job of the state to step in and ensure that monopolies were broken up so that capitalism could work.
You cannot buy a good car anymore
There are only 2 US car manufacturers, 3 if you want to count Tesla.
rolling malware that is unfixable by the user
Because they’re weaponizing section 1201 of the DMCA to prevent people from competing with them.
What you hate isn’t capitalism, it’s that you can’t even get capitalism because the government refuses to regulate businesses. For capitalism to work, the state has to ensure that there’s healthy competition in the marketplace. But, when there’s competition a rich person who owns capital might lose. So, a rich person much prefers feudalism or a corporatocracy to capitalism.
So really its corporatism we should hate and not capitalism?
There are TONS of people who would go buy a non-computerized car in a SECOND. I have money, I am one of them. But they refuse to give us a product ? Its baffling!
When there are only 2 manufacturers in a space, it’s no surprise if they ignore certain consumers. If there were a hundred different manufacturers like there were in the early 1900s, then there would almost certainly be someone offering something closer to what you want.
This is what pisses me off about capitalism.

It’s not baffling when you realize that there are only 2 remaining car manufacturers in the US, and fewer than 20 worldwide.
Look at the number of car companies established just in 1900:
