Violence against Nazis is just one of their acts. It’s clear you don’t care to see my point of view, so forget it.

Oh man. Someone should tell all those British, French, Russian and US WW2 vets they are just as bad as Nazis.
Oh and don't forget the Jews that resisted in the Warsaw ghettos. Guess they're Nazis too?

Not to mention that it’s hurting his/her/it’s/.... social and sexual life.
That's your avatar. I wonder can you get any more ideologically driven than that? Pro-feminist? Queer positive? Anti-fascist?
Like dude why can't you just be an individual by making up your own mind. These endless labels are just hurting everyone including yourselves.
My family died in the gas chambers. Did yours?
So Apple was cool to take money from white supremacist until it was uncool to do so? Grandstanding polical cowards.
Study many ancient histories throughout the ages.
Did you know that in Ancient Sparta, The warriors were encouraged to have sexual relations with each other. Homosexuality was actually encouraged throughout the Spartan legion (300 never showed that!).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_in_the_militaries_of_ancient_Greece
it was believed that soldiers who had intimate love with each other would fight harder and more ferociously to protect those they loved.
They were one of the Ancient civilizations most powerful armies.
There's a lot of history of humankind that has been fluid and accepting of different sorts of sexual fluidity throughout the ages.
Just because you didn't study in this area, doesn't mean that the truth isn't there.
Just because it so happens that they do one right thing doesn’t mean all the negatives get dismissed. If a criminal commits robbery and then donates the money, they are still a criminal.

I swear this September event better blow us away.
Homosexuality is now gender related? I never said anything about homosexuality.
Homosexuality has been observed in 1500 other animal species therefore it is natural and on a personal level I 100% support their rights to be equal to those of straight people.
I just don't buy into the gender fluid, non binary nonsense that these SJWs seem to be obsessed with.
How so? Apple is not the government, they are free to censor speech however they want. If Apple's shareholders disagree they have ways of getting rid of him.
I do think there are a few things that are universally and objectively intolerable and thus exempt from such reasoning.
Then don't "buy into it". Nobody is asking you to change you or your body.
They're asking you simply "Don't treat me differently than you".
why is that so hard?
Oh please. Apple is only jumping on the news bandwagon to sell more iPhone's in a few weeks. Call me when they do something good when it is of zero benefit to them and not a trendy news item.
Actually, abortion has murdered roughly 8 to 9 times as many innocent children compared to the 6 million Jews and christians massacred.
I don't see Apple standing up to Planned Parenthood who's founder Margaret Sanger was an avowed racist.
Side note: The photo from that video’s thumbnail of the “Antifa” guy clubbing the police officer has been debunked and linked back to a Getty Images photo from the 2009 protests in Greece.

Yes. It's tolerant and P.C. to accept minority founded/based hate groups. Everyone except white folks can start hate groups.
I've got an idea....how about zero hate groups. While we are at it let's all get under one flag...the US flag....the one that symbolizes all the values of the US that we strive for. We don't need political, rainbow, or other flags....we have ONE. The one people die everyday defending that has and will defeat every other flag that stands against freedom. Our biggest problem as a country is we can't stand under the same flag. Everyone needs their own. I'd love to see less rainbows in my town and more USA! We all want the same things and don't need special groups that end up causing divisions. Just stand under one flag as one people. Gay, black, white, Man, Woman, Indian....we are all represented in red, white, and blue.
Law enforcement. Some of them are very racist towards white people too.
It’s not okay to be racist to anyone.
The same law enforcement that disproportionately targets people of color? That one?
So where would you draw the line? Or do you have no line?
Should we also allow known Islamists access to unusually large amounts of fertilizer? After all, they're just expressing their views, right? Or how about selling a home near a grade school to a serial pedophile? Or even porn to 19 year olds? Who are we to moralize in the marketplace?
Expressing views is one thing. Helping fund and distribute Nazi propaganda and recruitment is quite another, and neither Apple nor any other outlet should enable any or it, let alone profit from it.
Before you reply, if you plan to, ask yourself what Apple should've done if you could've bought a slave with Apple Pay.
Yes because those things are in any way ideologically equivalent.
