The largest lockdown uprising in China took place at facilities run by Apple's Foxconn supplier where workers had previously jumped to their deaths. Apple had nothing to say about the rights of those workers who thought differently enough to break free and fight back. If they were foolish enough to have iPhones, the company would have eagerly helped authorities track them down to be imprisoned or killed.
In the 90s, to celebrate the return of its co-founder, Apple launched an ad campaign with the slogan, "Think Different."
- The campaign with its images of Einstein, MLK, Lennon, Edison and Picasso was meant to suggest that Apple was a unique creative company for aspiring geniuses.
- Behind the ad campaign meant to appeal to narcissistic hipsters with disposable incomes was a harder truth. Apple was aggressively offshoring the company's labor to Communist China.
Steve Jobs loved China and the Communist dictatorship loved him back
- His famous black turtleneck appeared to echo the Mao suit.
- After his death, his widow took the money to build the Emerson Collective, pushing social justice in the fine tradition of atoning for evil with more evil
- With protests breaking out against COVID tyranny in China, Apple rushed to aid Communist China's crackdown by preventing protesters from using AirDrop
- Apple is threatening Twitter's place in its app store because under Elon Musk the platform has begun to offer the very thing Apple is helping China stamp out: freedom
Apple has used its illegal app store monopoly to create a walled garden of apps along a pure ideology, secure from contradictory thoughts
- Much as China is purging political opposition, the company that helped define its new age is doing the same thing here.
- As we approach a 2024 election, more legislators are waking up and fighting back against Apple’s walled app store of ideology
