I mean it seems a little weird that the bastion of hardcore liberal corporatism aka Silicon Valley had its top players collectively parking a half a trillion dollars offshore, paying very high senior Exec salaries and building corporate palaces of excess.  While their highly paid employees gentrify, drive up housing prices (as far as 1-2 hours away), ride around in large busses prowling the city streets.

It would seem most Libs would hate those guys.

Well it's good to see that as usual, some of the resident satanist Libs don't get it. 

I think they're really saying that as long as corporations espouse lib plaudits then Libs will consume copious amounts of their products and give zero effs to what they really are.

I've definitely seen many San Francisco progressives with flip phones. If I had to rank current SF tech company hate it would be:

1) Google, they're huge, became the symbol of hate via their private commuter buses...generically called "Google buses" even though all the major silicon valley tech companies have them. Still lots of proglibs use gmail.
2) Uber: terrible CEO, terrible culture, they ruin taxi companies' monopoly. So folks use lyft
3) Facebook: Zuckerberg is an easily hateable target. Somehow even his philanthropy is hated.
4) Twitter: Small and relatively harmless but they got a sweetheart tax break to gentrify a shitty neighborhood which is pretty bad.
5) Airbnb: People are concerned with them taking housing off the market plus they had some ridiculously tone deaf ads during the campaign. Still the best lodging option for euro vacations tho
6) The juicero of the moment: whichever dumb tech startup seems to make the most out of touch move in any given week
7) Apple: Should be higher since they're the richest company in the world but I don't think most people realize that plus they are admired for design. probably also helped because their employees never ever ever talk about working for apple so no annoying tech bro brunch conversations featuring Apple employees

How can you know about all the transgressions of the others, and then not know that Apple has parked a quarter Trillion offshore, sues everybody that sniffs their way and uses what amounts to slave labor to assemble their products?

Several reasons:

1) They have the best PR staff in business- They are insanely good at manipulating the press and tech press especially.

2) They have an insane culture of secrecy-remember when the iphone 4 leaked like 10 years ago and heat a big deal that was? Have you heard of any major leaks since? I mean their employees won't even tell you they work for apple unless they're trying to get a job from you. And even then they won't tell you much other than try to make it seem like they are on speaking terms with Johnny Ives.

3) No perceivable local impact: Who cares about Chinese workers? Uber kills taxis and has the sexist culture, Google has the buses, airbnb inflates housing prices, Zuckerberg has the audacity to put his rough ridin' name on a hospital

4) They make great products that people love

But yeah, people pretty much know.

lol dax "you libs like getting a product from a company that you ultimately should hate"

like there isn't a gazillion products daxs buys (oil for example) that has helped fund ending his dreams

sad

what a low bar troll job

It's really pretty sad that you can't see the difference nor understand what's being said.

Pretty sad attempt at redirection.

You and fsd are both really poor at explaining your point.  You know that though. Just really bad goE'ing

It's because he makes an insanely specific point, and when people call him out for it "but, but that's not what I'm sayin!"

Then he casts a wider net in new areas, ol' dax, expert at the ol' drag em down to my level and beat them with experience. Curious how he feels about diamonds, food in general, and still doesn't answer my oil question, but because it's not the point I'm feebly trying to make!

When you start with already understood talking points and then dumb redirection.  You're already way behind the curve if not getting lapped.

You really suck at gEing.  It has to be said.

I think I'm getting close to striking the right nerve with you, never heard you lash out so badly at me. trolldax

I still have a Microsoft Zune from 2009, how libtard am I dax?

My dad had one of those and even after they stopped supporting it he wouldn't let it go. :lol:

I still use it almost daily  :gocho:
I never cared for Itunes UI so I went with the competition. Ended up really liking the Zune UI which was actually what was a precursor to Windows 8 OS. Bought a Surface Pro because of that.

Also, this comic makes me laugh:

I've definitely seen many San Francisco progressives with flip phones. If I had to rank current SF tech company hate it would be:

1) Google, they're huge, became the symbol of hate via their private commuter buses...generically called "Google buses" even though all the major silicon valley tech companies have them. Still lots of proglibs use gmail.
2) Uber: terrible CEO, terrible culture, they ruin taxi companies' monopoly. So folks use lyft
3) Facebook: Zuckerberg is an easily hateable target. Somehow even his philanthropy is hated.
4) Twitter: Small and relatively harmless but they got a sweetheart tax break to gentrify a shitty neighborhood which is pretty bad.
5) Airbnb: People are concerned with them taking housing off the market plus they had some ridiculously tone deaf ads during the campaign. Still the best lodging option for euro vacations tho
6) The juicero of the moment: whichever dumb tech startup seems to make the most out of touch move in any given week
7) Apple: Should be higher since they're the richest company in the world but I don't think most people realize that plus they are admired for design. probably also helped because their employees never ever ever talk about working for apple so no annoying tech bro brunch conversations featuring Apple employees

How can you know about all the transgressions of the others, and then not know that Apple has parked a quarter Trillion offshore, sues everybody that sniffs their way and uses what amounts to slave labor to assemble their products?

This seems pretty hateful and resentful  :dunno:

The point is that unless there is some egregious atrocity by a company, IMHO its impossible to really "boycott" (or whatever) those companies you don't agree with ideologically. I've encountered plenty of conservatives that try to do this with companies they deem too "liberal". Its really impossible because we buy and/or consume so many products that you can't manage to track all of it and you will almost always end up buying products from companies with policies you don't agree with. Cherry picking a big one like Apple doesn't make any difference to me. At the end of the day they make phones that I like and I will continue to buy even though I know they probably do plenty of stuff that I may or may not like, but I realize the same probably goes with the toothpaste or tshirt or car that I buy too. To me its just a futile exercise in a society like ours.
