You know that people in the US can spend a year in jail waiting for their trial, right? People keep making up arbitrary reasons why US=good and other country=bad just to justify their existing belief.
And what about forced education for children in the US? Nobody bats an eye at that, except the victims themselves.
- mc32 5y agoNowhere did I say anything about good or bad. That’s you making judgements. All I’m saying is Apple says one thing in one context and another in a different one, but they are not dissimilar so in effect they are hypocrites and don’t mean what they say and their values are relative. Oh bad bad exploitation! Oh, but in China… never mind, we’ll just mind our own business…
- exporectomy 5y agoYou said that being convicted before being imprisoned was an important difference. Maybe you didn't mean good vs bad but I'm claiming that difference is neither important nor even exists. It's just arbitrarily made up to put a dividing line between China and the US. No matter how similar two countries are, you can always find some difference and claim that it's important. I agree that Apple and all the other big techs say contradictory moral nonsense. They're just trying to please the public but the public itself has internally contradictory standards even with the same individuals so it's impossible for Apple to really make any sense unless it's willing to alienate everyone.
