You can't get any more hilarious than that. It's as if this were an SNL skit from about six years ago in order to mock Republicans.
Also, the implications of this are schadenfreude in their interpretation.
Hippies fund jihad through supporting "capitalism" (which is actually socialist/facist government corporatism) which uses regional pricing and marketing to convince the bad guys to buy their product. All the while battling against their own straw man ( their Apple coat of arms ) of capitalism.
Maybe if companies didn't have to go through so many hoops to run their business, they wouldn't have to resort to supporting wars to make more profits. Obviously there's more to the solution than that, but I don't want to get into such a complicated theory, because it goes beyond the scope of this post, and doesn't pertain to my point.
Point is, "it's ok when the products (this proletariat) uses does evils, because I'm not supporting rich spoiled kid terrorist who just happen to have sophisticated tastes."
It's like a pissing match between two geek factions, one prefers the original theatrical versions of the original Star Wars trilogy. The other side claims George Lucas is their god and can put whatever new unholy scene and it becomes the new and revised holy book. Once Disney starts their releases, that's going to make the crazy fundamentalist Star Wars fan do the nuclear option. Good times!
