   This is not a joke, $150 and $230 for a piece of cloth/strap iPhone pouch.

   Apple as a company and a brand is not only following fascist dictates but is holding up increasing income disparity as a feature to be celebrated. Can't eat or walk the streets in safety from the secret police? Too bad for you. Check me out with my $230 Apple pocket.

   As a brand, #Apple is #toxic, #fascist, #cruel and Apple enthusiasts should really be walking away.

     The "community" of #Apple enthusiasts that follow podcasts and news sites about Apple, that have Apple as a sort of tech-hobby might want to reconsider their role in holding up a consumer culture that facilitates interest in a company that is increasingly hostile to its users but one that is embracing a #fascist regime because it prioritizes profit and continued growth.

     You got the devices, use them till they break. But reconsider your participation in indirect promotion of their products.
