The only thing that will help is a fucking revolution. So the BEST thing any of us can do is to radicalise those around us and organize.

First you need to know what kind of a system you'd want. Second, revolution is a big big goal. Small steps.

I only care about meaningful change that helps not destroy the planet. Buying a fairphone is not it.

And buying Apple is? Fairphone is trying to do something good. Their entire goal is to try to do good. Apple is just out here making fat stacks with "good" being more stacks. They pretend they're pro-privacy, pro-climate, pro-whatever, but it's all bullshit.

You are very naive if you think fairphone is trying to “do good”. They are, like every single corporation under capitalism, trying to make a profit. They found a niche and are carving their market share within it. If they could, they would become Apple. If you don’t think so, again, you’re being naive.
