In case you’re thinking this is some odd lapse of judgement or something, it’s not. Cook’s no different to any other billionaire. If you want more proof, watch this talk I gave in Warsaw a few years ago:

Billionaires is civilisational rot, a systemic bug we must eradicate.
in reply to Aral Balkan

It's almost as if they want us all to become class conscious at the same time...or they think that doesn't matter anymore.
The way people are, maybe that's unavoidable before corrections can take place?

Aral Balkan reshared this.

Think different.

And by “different,” I mean, of course, “in perfect lockstep with the quadrupeds.”

ann Telnaes cartoon on billionaires, including Bezos, offering tribute to Trump (The Washington Post censored it; she then quit!) pretty much says it all.

It's great someone fights back. But the most powerful apparently don't.

Why do billionaire gay men donate to a fascist group that reviles them. Is greed that strong among all of them......(rhetorical) Yes.

Tim Cook has proven himself over and over to be nothing more than a money grubbing piece of shite. #apple #timcook #fascism

Adding as context, for anyone who hasn't read of this pattern yet:

"Tech moguls Altman, Bezos and Zuckerberg donate to Trump's inauguration fund"

npr.org/2024/12/13/nx-s1-52278…

(Including "[..] OpenAI CEO Sam Altman intends to make a $1 million personal donation to Trump's inauguration fund, the company confirmed to NPR on Friday [..]")

One more reason to ditch Apple. They’ve been better than most, but it’s not saying much.

Oligarchy, now available in space grey - or is there a hint of purple - no one knows anymore, Apple!! =))

Fascism always available for the best bidder. You can buy your indulgences for the appropriate amount.

why wouldn't he? Isn't he rich? Isn't this presidency going to make him richer, and loosen the reigns of corporate oversight?
