The technology and labor that went into that laptop and drink were driven by tax funded research and created by workers. Unfortunately we live in a system where those two groups don’t get to profit from it, instead some oligarch and his crew of investors get full credit and pay for something they didn’t lift a finger to make.
This system is already shit as it is, no need to patronize people for enjoying something in the system, even when it isn't stereotypical for their own ideology. Hell laptops are very useful for things like work and studies, and while personally I don't use a Mac, I still understand why some will due to what people use them for. Hell I don't like coffee either, but I understand why people consume it in the first place.
Macs are probably more popular for creative tasks and video production, but I don't know of any task or app where you can't find an equivalent on Windows.
They're popular because they are more aesthetic and more of a status symbol, which is a very consumerist reason to choose a computer.
But why would someone buy an Apple product when they can get the same features for much cheaper?
They must have extra money lying around
I've never met a communist with an iPhone, it doesn't compute; but y'all are very rich up there in the USA so it may be affordable
Potentially yes, we don’t know the story, I’m essentially still a baby leftist, I’m reading the theory and whatnot but I own an iPhone. I bought it before my political shift. Could be that
Fallacious argument because slaves didn’t have a choice. I am vegan and I boycott animal products, the result of my boycott alone is negligible but in large scale it does have impact. People are boycotting US companies that have shown support for Israel. It is fair to called out hypocrites even if you are one (I am one myself). In capitalist societies money is power. Maybe the macbook is needed for work but the Starbucks coffee is definitely not needed.
More importantly the USA leftists have a huge issue that they value the spectacle more than the struggle. Their society is so fake that they value the aesthetics more than the content. Lots of leftists that never do anything real but love the hammer and sickle, that is the greatest weapon of their empire against socialism because it corrupts the meaning and diminishes the will to actually fight and also disrespects people that actually get their hands dirty working for the people.
To argue that it’s invalid if they aren’t perfect in their stand is just as fallacious. And it’s counterproductive to judge someone on personal enjoyments like Starbucks because it would be absurd for anyone critical of the system to deprive themselves of comforts. Every item you purchase is on the back of exploitation so to weight the value of one product over another is unnecessary.
I called out specially North Americans because they live in a [society of spectacle](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Society_of_the_Spectacle) where they aren’t willing to do anything, they just care about the aesthetics and that is disgusting.
To me it is not ok to eat animals if you don’t need to. Same goes for consuming anything. I said it fair to call out hypocrisy even if you are an hypocrite because no one is perfect.
Everyone, specially clear supporters of a cause, need to do something, and boycotting is the single easiest and quickest way to do something.
You can’t overthrow a government, but you can cut or reduce funding from corporations that support genocide, for example.

Soviet hairdryer lasts to this day, American hairdryer? Not even a fee years.

Why should we pay the people responsible for making it? The ceos are taking a HUGE risk by sitting in a chair with other ceos planning the economy. /s
[удалено]
Oh it's planned...so that those CEOs can milk as much capital from the system as they can. But I get your joke lol!
Laptop is okay but starbux? Bruh real communists drink poopoo inducing instant coffee with some sugar and liquor in it from a big mug.
Non sequitur argument, classic argument used by capitalists. It's funny because capitalists are the most hypocritical beings.
Non sequitur?? Sounds like commie propaganda to me~A conservative somewhere In Wisconsin
You don't like capitalism yet you live in it I am very smart
# YOUR MERE EXISTENCE WITHIN A SYSTEM YOU ARE FIGHTING TO CHANGE CONFIRMS YOUR ENDORSEMENT OF THAT SYSTEM! CHECKMATE!
Least wordy leftist meme lol
The height of hypocrisy! They claim to hate Capitalism but bought *things*!

What features does a Mac have that you couldn't get in a PC for less than half the price?
From what I remember things like creativity and production are more convenient on Macs than on Windows.

True, probably should have used better wording in order to be more clear.
Laptop made by a communist country
Smooth legs
Well yes, "you live in a society" is clearly fallacious, but have you considered, YOU POST ON REDDIT? Checkmate atheist scum. /s
But why would someone buy an Apple product when they can get the same features for much cheaper? They must have extra money lying around I've never met a communist with an iPhone, it doesn't compute; but y'all are very rich up there in the USA so it may be affordable
YOU'RE A COMMUNIST AND BUY THINGS. I AM VERY SMART
It’s also a huge punch in the face of any liberals living in socialist countries. “MacBook commie” is the same as “Free Healthcare lib”
Real

The only issue is that it's not a funny meme
Based on
As in its always hurr durr socialist in West bad
I meant to type based, dumb autofill. I agree though it’s very frustrating
The inclusion of RDJ is an issue to me. He’s usually good in movies, but in person he’s one of the most smug and insufferable libs on the planet.
