Apple is nothing more than a group of individuals. Their customers are also individuals.
It is the behaviour and choices of these groups that have enabled the current situation.
Apple doesn’t exist and your hate does nothing. We need to change the choices and behaviours of individuals.
I have no idea how to do that, or if it’s even possible.
Apple is much more than a group of individuals. They are a country, government, and central bank all packaged as a company.
Also, mobile access to the internet and apps has become a duopoly. Changing one for the other does very little to benefit the user so they won’t. Or if they do, impact is minimal and easily course corrected by the provider. IMO.
I agree that they hold the same amount of power as what you have said, but isn’t a country a group of individuals making choices and behaving in a way which sets the foundation for the policies of the country?
You can’t change a country by yelling at the offices of the overseers, you have to change the behaviours and attitudes of the individuals so that they make choices and behave in such a way as to take power back from those in the “offices”.
On paper your statement is true. In reality it is very far from the truth. IMO
Apple is just a little reality hitting us in the face. Our own governments do it much more slowly, quietly and confusingly.
Like Satoshi did with BTC, build a better solution outside the current system or pay the price.
Those who get tired of the BS will find their way here. We can't save everyone and a lot of people will wake up one day in terror of the hellscape they live-in. If you haven't piled into the lifeboat yesterday or at the latest now, you're going down with the Orwellian ship and you won't be able to get to the lifeboat. The exits are rapidly closing as we speak.
We can only point them in the right direction. They need to do their own personal journey to freedom like we all did at some point and break free of the conditioning, we can only give directions on how to get here. We can't do the journey for them or club them over the head with it as they will resist against our attempts to save them from themselves.
💯 agree. How we tell our story matters more than anything. It needs to inspire and not denigrate. It needs to uplift and shine a light on the prisons people are slow walking into. In the end, it will be their choice.
