ill gladly bang the drum about how insulated the HN bubble is, but this opinion specifically is bizarre to me. why does this have to be one size fits all? when someone walks in and says "i know i want this, let me buy it" how is it unreasonable to expect Apple to realize that it can skip the default flow?
Of course it's possible to distinguish being against the CCP and being against China! But it's equally as naive and disingenuous to claim that none of the anti-China attitudes in the US are rooted in xenophobia. You can't seriously believe this? The country has discrimination issues with Asian-American _citizens_ for goodness' sake.
I also don't think Musk should be lumped in with those other luminaries, but Musk isn't the one doing that categorization, so nothing against him. It's just people and their penchant for hero worship
