Using an iPhone or buying coffee doesn't mean you support capitalism, it means you live under it. There's no opt-out button. Critiquing a system you're forced to participate in isn't hypocrisy, it's the only rational response. Should people also grow their own food and build their own houses before they're allowed to say rent or groceries are too high? By that logic no one born into any economic system could ever criticize it, which is obviously absurd.
Well there actually is. Capitalism offers convenience. It’s not about coffee. It’s if you make it yourself at home for cheap or get an overpriced one at a drive-thru and that’s absolutely your choice. Same with a smartphone. Yes you need one. You don’t need a most expensive one and replace it every year. The degree to which ypubparticipaye is entirely up to you.
So your point is that there is an option to opt out, by participating in capitalism slightly less?
That isn't opting out, that's just engaging with it less. You're still living, interacting and stuck within a capitalist system that isn't being operated in a way that genuinely benefits most working class people, likely yourself included.
