“Apple CEO Tim Cook plans to donate $1 million to Donald Trump's inauguration fund, reports Axios. The donation will be a personal donation directly from Cook rather than a donation from Apple”

I’ll defend Apple as being the least shitty of the big tech giants but I can’t defend this.

As a Bi man there is something that particularly stings about a well known, openly gay CEO funding a man who is hateful towards LGBTQ+ people. I never really liked him nor apple but it is an extra fuck you.

Being rich is ultimately the disease as it compels him to appeal to power but I hope the last things hears is "Told you I would kill you last".

His in-group is not LGBTQIA+, it is other rich people. The same is true for all of them.

The wealthy all seem to understand that class solidarity is more important than any other issue. Why is it taking so long for everyone else to figure that out?

Peter Thiel is also a gay man, and pulling a lot of these strings behind the scenes.

It’s oligarchy. Thiel can fuck who ever he wants (and make them disappear when he’s done…) while maintaining political power by sacrificing queer people to the Hour of Hate.

There are no real allies in the oligarch class. Temporal alliances or common goals at best. They will (and do) kill for a penny.
