"Consumer OS" is an oxymoron that constitutes the very root of the
problem.
There should be NO such thing as a "consumer
OS". No consumer should
ever be given a computer or an OS. Or for that matter, there should be
no consumers at all. Two-leggeds living their lives as consumers are
unworthy of life and are not even human since the true purpose of human
life is to produce and contribute, rather than consume, eat, shit, sleep,
fuck and pollute the environment with SUVs. Consumer societies like the
modern Western world are a cancerous tumor on the body of Mother Earth
that needs to be cut out (a few strategic nukes would be nice) to save
the planet.
-MS, Communist and believer in rule by the workers, noting that
worker == producer. Workers of the world, unite to overthrow and
annihilate the consumer society and replace it with a producer society!
You are still on this list? Why not be a good anarchist and give up all the
things we consumers like (computers, junkfood, frozen food, running water,
electricity, central air and heating) and go make yourself a log cabin out
in the middle of nowhere and hunt your food with flint tools while using
their fur for clothing and a small fire for heat. Pull your own teeth out
when they rot, take out your own appendix when you need to, and enjoy life
alone in the wilderness without consumers making you buy anything or even
have to get a 9-5 job.
