Interesting they are saying this outloud...its almost like they are trying a strategy of determinism.
They can go F themselves, they need to be reminded of what happens to when authority tries conformity

What happens is that consumers roll over and take it. Especially considering if apple is doing it, it's only a matter of time before Android does as well and that eliminates all viable choices for non-techie people
Funny u bring this ad, wasn’t Apple who also used this as well?
They produced it...offering their product as a solution to the conformity being imposed. They are now. who they warned us against
“Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” really aught to apply to corporations more than people.
With the leadership at the helm, new ideals, new financial goals - it’s inevitable.
If you want to be a non-conformist, you need to dress just like us, and talk just like us, and listen to the same music we listen to…
