      Ok so buy what then? Go Amish?

      You’re overcomplicating this. Tim Fuckface had a farcical bending the knee ceremony, bearing a gold statue in tribute.

      Get an android phone from anyone other than Google.

      When a viable android alternative shows up, convert.

        But… android phones use google play services. It’s really no better, you give them all of your sweet sweet personal info either way.

          It’s actually possible to have a somewhat usable smartphone with Android, without Google services. That’s just not possible with Apple. You can even buy an Android without Google today. With a phone like this, whether off-the-shelf or DIY, you can have a reasonably useful phone, use the web, and organize without being tracked by Google or Apple, and therefore the fascist US gov’t. That’s not possible with an iPhone.

            I’m really not trying to be. My point is we have no choice but to purchase from Nazi enablers, so what makes Apple the most evil one? Both CEOs were giving him handjobs at the inauguration.

              Tl;dr: I will use whataboutism to soothe and supress anything negative about my precious naziPhone. It is of utmost importance that we do not take punitive action that will harm Apple financially. Please, please, divert your attention from Apple specifically.
