Apple, rottening..
.. #nostr rooting.
The Mandate of Heaven is a Chinese political ideology that was used in Ancient China and Imperial China to legitimize the rule of the king or emperor of China. According to this doctrine, Heaven bestows its mandate on a virtuous ruler. This ruler, the Son of Heaven, was the supreme universal monarch, who ruled Tianxia. If a ruler was overthrown, this was interpreted as an indication that the ruler was unworthy and had lost the mandate. It was also a common belief that natural disasters such as famine and flood were divine retributions bearing signs of Heaven's displeasure with the ruler, so there would often be revolts following major disasters as the people saw these calamities as signs that the Mandate of Heaven had been withdrawn. The Mandate of Heaven does not require a legitimate ruler to be of noble birth, depending instead on how well that person can rule.
Apple lost the mandate of heaven...in 2013, when Edward Snowden revealed they allowed NSA direct access access to user information. Been linux ever since
Most people didnt care about that in 2013 though.
The Mandate of Heaven is lost when the people know and care.
the mandate of heaven is just a metric of how stupid people are to accept that some humans are more equal than others
also i could drop a link to my tripped out musings about the situation in 2013 when i was in bulgaria
honestly i don't even remember why i was so freaked out apart from the chemicals
has something in particular changed?
Hallelu Yah
Seeing how their first computer sold for $666, and their logo is a bitten apple of Adam, Eve, & 🐍 fame. I'd wager the mandate was differently aligned.
