Did we just compare buying a certain brand of phone to being a serf? Really? No nuance with you people. Because a person being forced to work the fields to live is the same as you having to buy an iPhone.
The answer to this strawman of yours is “no” though.
Are we looking at the same comic?
So you see the serf? Do you not get the connection that is being made?
Can you explain how my statement is a strawman, what exactly did I fabricate? Are they not showing the and concept throughout the ages and in different situations?
This comic lacks any nuance to push a ham fisted message.
No, I don't think we did. You seem to be missing the point. The comic is expressing a concept, it is not comparing owning a phone with owning a car or with being a serf.
