    Which is solved by … cartels? Private gun ownership? Terrorist/freedom-fighter groups?

    Warlords have monopolies on violence and even that is through terror, not actual power.

    The working class is just always so much larger than the ruling class (if it weren’t, there wouldn’t be an inequality problem to begin with).

    It’s just wrong to think that USA only supports righteous freedom fighters.

    … most of witch regimes were set up and funded (weapons too) by the USA or Russia. Usually they were terrorist groups before forming a formal government. And the problem being that the status quo is usually the most profitable and politically beneficial (gives the mentioned colonisers more direct power over the de fuckto marionette countries).

    It’s by design.
    A lot of effort went into it and it’s a lot of effort to maintain such systems. You need PR along with movie studios, politicians on local, country, and global levels, lobbyists, para-gov agencies (like police unions), judges, etc. It’s a business full of people that do what they can to advance it.









  • Well, yes.

    However I do feel that top vanilla Samsung (S2x) and iPhone (normal Pro, especially since the 16 has the good snappers like the big model) at least still fit the bill of being natural one-hanged-phones.

    Even Sony ships of flags (1 … of which “1 IV” runs Lineage OS!) while big arent as wide and much more handy.

    But, I cannot help myself thinking that there must be some market sense in like actually small but premium phones. Something like a 4.2" slab with a 4" screen (thin bezels) and proper cams.

    Since shitty versions exist, it must be just less profitable for the big brands to get in to (and phone startups can’t make much difference until Linux phones come of age to handle the software side of upgrades and security/privacy).
