Apple, Twitter, China

Apple have been apparently threatening to ditch Twitter from its since Elon Musk took over - presumably they dislike Musk’s alignment with free speech as well as perhaps his success in implementing a strong anti child-porn policy on Twitter. If someone identifies as a pedo, who’s to argue with their inclinations? I presume that’s the progressive, woke position. One love. 
Anyway, the CCP, Chinese Communist Part, by contrast to Musk and in tandem with Musk’s many establishment foes are also not the biggest fans of free speech. Who knows what kind of lies and misinformation the plebs might end up saying if not completely controlled from above? A specialist in viruses might for example say something about viruses that a vaguely educated shitkicking fact checker knows to be wrong. What a mess that kind of scenario would be.

But instead fortunately within a state governed by Marxist principles, like China, the people are the property of the state - thus the real meaning of the phrase “the dictatorship of the people” i.e. the people are governed and owned by a dictatorship. And so below we see Apple CEO Tim Cook, who you can see elsewhere sycophantically praising communist China to the heavens, when asked about the CCP and their brutal behaviours, and lo and behold, unlike his attitude to Twitter and Elon Musk, Pool hasn’t a bad word to say about them. In fact not any words at all. Musk bad, CCP good. I suppose if you’re into totalitarian ideologies, suppression of free speech, slave labour and the like, what’s not to like about the CCP?
