I hope they wake up too, but we shall see. If it hits them in the bottom line, they might.
Never owned an Apple anything, never will.
What an arsehole move on Apple’s part. What IS the point. There is something going on here much bigger than a Confederate Flag manufactured hysteria. What is it?
Yeah, unbelievably stupid move on their part. Its almost as if someone in Washington is telling that commie fag what to do. I think the whole thing is manufactured. But a company doing something this rash and stupid, is just mind boggling.
Anyone know how to make backgrounds actually work on Blender 3-d. I want to make a story cover with that flag on the side of a space ship.
You can’t forget that Jobs was close friends with Bill and Hillary. Cook isn’t falling very far from that tree - in fact, he’s right under it.
The extreme discrepancy between the excellence of of Apple products and their hyper-liberal politics has bothered me for a long time, especially when they try to blend the two together. But this latest act is literally a Soviet-level erasing of American history - and scary as hell. I hope their feedback is negative enough, and large enough, to force a reversal. But these days... I doubt it. Liberals have become VERY communistic and obedient to their masters.
It won’t hurt Apple at all. I doubt there are two people here at FR who will change their buying habits just because Apple is rife with plutocrats censoring that which they do not like. Same for Amazon, Ebay and WalMart. There are very, very few people who will divest from those assholes either. Which is exactly why they do this sh&t.
It’s Fahrenheit 451 coming.
Here’s a post I wrote earlier tonight, with quotes from the book - a lot of these dystopian novels will never happen, but this one IS coming.

“There is something going on here much bigger than a Confederate Flag manufactured hysteria. What is it?”
The way I see it is that it’s been decided that it’s high time for the NWO to make its debut. The only real impediment to this happening is the viability of the US Dollar and America herself.
The dollar is poised to collapse at any time. What we’re seeing now is the wholesale liquidation of the United States - culturally, economically, militarily. When we’re weakened enough, it’ll be one short step to being like any other dictatorial country.
Apple still makes the products that I like. I won’t change to some other crappy operating system or telephone just because of this.
Just a purely political move among the professional racists, to continue the narrative that we are all a bunch of racists, and to energize minority voters.
I know. You wouldn’t abandon Apple if they sent a preponderance f their manufacturing to Communist China, began censoring anything reminiscent of southern heritage and demanded florists who wish not to participate in gay ceremonies by expressing their first amendment rights be jailed, scorned and sent to the poorhouse. It’s because you are a “true conservative”!
I’d dump my husband if he forbade me to have one.
I think it is a fair assessment to guess that any company that moved this quickly probably got the same phone call or email that Amazon admitted to getting, ordering it to desist in carrying the product.
How are liberals different from the Taliban and Communists? They have all sought to erase the past.
I’m proud of you
Hugs
We’d already eschewed Amazon
I liked eBay
As you may know I’ve got property association deals ...car washes...with two WalMarts so while I can avoid WalMart it’s tough to cut them off completely
I went to Sams to avoid lib Costco...
My family has a lot of Apple and I’m on one now....it could be done....I’m not married to them but my kids are
It’s just crazy how southern history was fine the day before a crazy kid murders but now we are all blamed and called nazis....instantly
A great example of mob rule and how wars ignite
The left....Tim Cook etc ....like good Alinsky progressives.....took this opportunity to carry forth their agenda
WalMart is now run by libs....look at mgt
Cook is governed by feeling oppressed as a gay man...prolly picked on in Alabama or wherever it was down here growing up
He’s got no love loss for Dixie
Worst part of this to me is the feckless GOP....especially those in the south
Ditto!
My former employer furnish me with an iphone.
After being “downsized” my person phone is an LG.
Apple Inc. seems a bit “Jim Jones-ish” (read: cultish) to me.
