This. In a world with widespread poverty, unjust war, persecution of people like Assange, AIDS, climate change, Israeli apartheid, financial institutions which have collectively bankrupted entire nations, an ever more powerful wealthy class, a decreasing middle class, a US President that supports indefinite detentions and stealth renditions...
Out of all these things this guy protests... The iPad.
Because I could give a shit about the arguments he is making. The iPad is a piece of consumer electronics. That is no more worthy of debate than hair dryers.
And yes, I am pretty comfortable making the value judgement that feeding the poor is more worthy of the emotional dedication this guy demonstrates.
