Apple Honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

[ninethirty]

As I've said for the third time now, the rest of the world can have their opinions.

Those opinions however, mean ******** to me.

You'll have to forgive me for not believing this to be the case. You got real interested real fast when I brought up "leader of the free world," being the joke that it is.

Like I said, toddlers who are feasting on crap, just to make the rest of us smell their breath.

Hypocritical of Apple. Tim Cook made sure of that.

No it wasn’t.

So Tim Cook honors MLK on the very same day that he attended Trump's innaguration, which he also donated $1 million to. Either Cook is too clueless to be aware of the hypocrisy in those actions, or he is aware of them but just doesn't care.

MLK stood for peace and justice. Trump stands for warmongering and injustice. The fact that Cook helped Trump means Cook is on the side of warmongering and injustice.

I hope history does not forget that Cook has participated in such evil actions. I hope history looks back at Cook as a morally bankrupt scumbag.

Tim Cook is just covering all of his bases. He knows there are very few people that will go replace their iPhone with a Samsung phone because he shows support for President Trump. Supporting Trump is a net gain to him and to Apple because they will lose very few if any customers by throwing their support behind him. They have a lot to gain financially by being influential in the new Administration.

Easy - liberals are not strictly anti-capitalist. "Liberal" is a political position while "Anti-capitalist" is an economic position.

If other forums/social media platforms/news sites etc. their users who tend to voice their very liberal views including those that lean towards and most often take an anti-capitalist position.

MLK, if he were alive today, would most likely have been on stage celebratlng and praying with President Trump,

What a transparently ignorant thing to say.

 

[rhett7660]

Mostly because the American right wing has absolutely no idea what communism is and thinks anything that doesn't agree with them is the worst of communism, so the OP is basically saying King would agree with Trump because any other positions than his are evil communism.

It takes a bit to wrap your brain around the stupidity there

Good lord... generalizations at best. Hell most of the left do not know what communism is... it takes a bit to wrap ones brain around the stupidity around the left.

Yeah I don't need the people of MacRumors or anyone else to give me comparables or a history lesson on Dr. King. I know what a great man he was and the contributions he made towards making the world a better place. A simple acknowledgment of that is all that's needed here, not political rhetoric.

Really and truly, you're not the only person in the world and not everybody cares what you want. Surprise right......
If you don't want political rhetoric, block the poster that made it and move on

Lol what? I wasn't making a comment towards any one person and what I said wasn't in any way inappropriate. You are the one that decided to engage with me and you asked me a question at the end of your comment, so I answered it. And don’t tell me to move on, you aren’t running the comments section at MacRumors.

No matter whether our political preferences swing right or left, ROTW is not ever going to wrap our heads around how you have willingly, via a free democratic vote, elected such a repugnant, vapid, lying, cheating, characterless and classless convicted felon as your head of state.

To further exemplify our stunned disbelief, in ROTW (or at least, within the ROTW which professes to have a democratic election system), the absolute second his alleged 26 sexual misconduct allegations surfaced (EDIT: including one where your own justice system found him guilty and awarded $5m to the victim in damages), his political career would be completely finished. No question. And that was just the tip of his iceberg.

You've told us various times that you actually don't care what ROTW thinks. Which is fine. So that also means you aren't going to be offended when I say that, speaking on behalf of ROTW, we are now convinced that statistically 50%+ of your once-great country are certifiably insane.

And with that as a given, may God help us all.

A lot of Americans are just as stunned and horrified as you are. I don't plan to make things very pleasant for any of these fascists going forward, I can assure you. Tens of millions of pissed off Americans are not going down without a fight.

What a transparently ignorant thing to say...🤣 As long as we know you won't throw your Apple products at us it won't be much of a fight.

It seems that close to 100% here can also agree with that statement. 👍 🙂

The 3 things Americans can agree on:

1) dogs are awesome
2) Health Insurance is the ********* industry in existence
3) the other half of the country is nuts (for whichever half is the other half from the person speaking)

And on this forum I’d add:

4) Apple and Macs are fun to argue about

 

[Alameda]

As an American, your thoughts & opinions on my country and its leadership mean jack.

So hateful…

 

[TPadden]

Nevertheless maybe next year we can all just honor MLK on the third Monday of January.
