No. I’m saying you’re hating the fish that swim in a polluted stream. Apple, and Amazon, and Exxon-Mobil, and Goldman-Sachs, etc. all swim in those same poisonous waters. The stream is the problem.
> Are you defending Apple by using the Whataboutism fallacy?
Pointing out that Apple follows the law, like every other company, isn’t whataboutism. In any event, Apple pays its taxes in America. The manoeuvres are on its foreign income.
I agree that distorting focus is often a propaganda tool and diversionary tactic, but it goes both ways. Sometimes the category of problem really is larger and more widespread than the single cited instance, and it’s necessary and reasonable to see the forest rather than just the tree, particularly when the best solution applies to the forest as a whole; e.g. to close the widely exploited loopholes.
