A year ago I would've been ready and willing to pay double price for a fully US-made phone. Purism's liberty phone seemed interesting.

Now, I will not buy american products at any price. It feels totally ridiculous now to even talk about moving the supply chain to the US.

Why? What justified double the price a year ago? Especially since you sound like you're not an USer...

Ok maybe avoiding China would have been a good idea 1 year ago too. But from that to overpaying for something just because it's made in the most expensive country in the world...


Good question, I honestly don't know anymore. Some manifestation of soft power that vanished into the air?


China is still no better and this phone runs FLOSS. It's still the best offer for the hackers and activists.
