God, just listen to yourself.
Personally I think their plans are fairly balanced and reasonable. Like it or not, there are legitimate interests here. It's a difficult trade-off and conversation. Ostracizing people and saying you would literally rather have people DIE is not adding to the conversation. The way you talk about it makes it sound like this is about the Nuremberg laws or something.
What makes you think I haven't listened to myself? And don't bring God into this, he's left the conversation a long long time ago; This shit's on us. I really couldn't care less if you think their plans are balanced or reasonable -- I don't agree with that on a fundamental level because Apple has long passed that threshold. This is just their latest digging a deeper hole. And why should I feel obligated to add to a conversation that has long gone nowhere? What can I add to it that wouldn't just get ignored anyways. I might as well inject my honest opinion, however much it'll be ignored.
This is not really much of a conversation if you don't care what other people have to say, is it?
I don't really understand this almost visceral hate towards Apple. They do some things I like, and some things I don't like. This kind of stuff is not going to change anyone's mind, much less help them understand your position.
The visceral hate here is towards Apple because they are the current subject. Substitute any FAANG, or really, any company behaving similarly, and my reaction would be similar.
Was it ever a conversation in the first place? I'm pretty sure that unless there's enough blow-back financially, Apple is going to do whatever it wants. This was never a conversation, it was a dictum from Apple that we're all reacting to. They're going to do whatever they thing will bring them the most profit. I am just following suit. I don't need others to understand my position, I don't need them to change their minds. I need them to acquiesce and do as necessary. This is what Apple dictates; so shall I.
