It could very well be, I’m not familiar with this product at all. It does come to my attention that the statue of liberty’s torch is the most prominent visual element on the page; combined with the block of text and the name of the phone itself I could definitely see where the poster is coming from, it gives off a nationalist air despite it being fairly reserved/neutral in its visual language. It kinda makes me think the purism name was no coincidence but I’d like to think otherwise
ive done some digging to see if there’s some glaring issue I’m just not aware of. i found no evidence whatsoever so far of anyone using this device or saying these phones or devices are used for anything criminal or nationalist activity.
i just found a lot of linux nerds or FOSS nerds who seem to have varying opinions on whether they like it or the company or not.
in a world so absolutely brimming with click bait headlines and buzzwords being used to incite conflict, let’s not rally behind every cry of vilification without first checking that it’s actually villainous. you know?
we need to make sure we don’t fall into the same habits those headlines aim to force us into.
It’s just jingoistic drivel, same as all of Trump’s China crap. Implying the phone has better privacy because it’s made in the US.
but what specifically makes this racist? I’m failing to see any example of it in the text you initially showed.
The URL being puri.sm was what I noticed first
isnt that just a FOSS operating system for phones and tablets?
if its something more sinister, I’d be interested to learn it.

or well, thats just my feelings on it.
Vibes.
thank you for confirming that even you have no idea what the hell you’re actually angry about. that’s pretty funny.
good luck with whatever you think you’re fighting against 😅
No, I just don’t want to explain to someone who’s clearly just baiting. But you do you and pay 3x as much because it’s made in america.
we’re having a conversation. who’s paying for things? what on earth are you even talking about?
so how is it racist?
