We had the same propaganda with books, radio, and TV. Should we ban those things too?
I'm just saying, that it is a problem and unless you're fascist yourself, it is also your problem. Banning phones is ridiculous and will never go through anyway.
By the way, the internet is a billion times more efficient in spreading propaganda than anything we've ever seen before. Something needs to be done. Banning phones is not the solution though.

Perhaps the actual answer is for people to learn self control.
That will never work, nobody has discipline anymore

No. Smartphones convicted the murderer of George Floyd. Smartphones have shown to the world the police brutality that happens at peaceful protests. Technology isn't inherently evil, it's how its used.
Smart phones are just pocket computers. Up to you how their used, good evil neutral it's all at ur fingertips.

Is Jacobin just garbage or am I just seeing only garbage articles?
Idk why don't you go directly to the site?
Jacobin
Jacobin is a leading voice of the American left, offering socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture.

Looks fine to me but they're preaching to the choir. You're certainly right that people have only been posting their shit takes here.
Like some kind of engagement or rage bait or something

I'm just making commentary bud. Multiple times in the city I've seen people nearly get hit by busses because they cross the street nose deep in their phone without looking up. Some people can't come unglued for 10 seconds to look both ways before crossing a busy roadway in a bus plaza, it's kind of crazy!

If USA banned guns, they might have a few less shootings.
Counting the civil war or no?

Hey David, can you guess how many people are reading your article from a smartphone? Convenient, isn't it.
Want to complain about smartphones? Write a book... or something that can be published on fucking paper.
Bad take.
Journalists tell themselves they can make their ends meet by publishing a book pretty frequently.
Turns out that's rarely true. He seems to be mainly a podcaster though? Those lines can get blurry.
Also, the Jacobin is a magazine that still sells a printed version...

There is no other economic system.
If lemmy.ml could read this, they'd be very upset.
No, they'd just laugh at the morons

Greed isn't limited to any one economic system, I fear.
Seems more like a power thing but I guess that's greed too

Why is the left so intent on becoming Luddites? What the fuck is this timeline?
I don't think it's "the left" as a whole but the literal Luddites would definitely have been considered part of it.
There's just going to be some overlap in the anti-capitalist Venn diagram on these issues.

Do counts with and without the civil war.

So, can you guess which percentage of people prefer using an smartphone to read these kind of anti smartphone articles? Do you see the issue? The irony?
This is just trash ragebait dude.
