Not really

You automatically participate in society, you needed a car, buying Apple products is completely voluntarily and optional

You posted on a device made from unethically mined precious metals

Yep, I don't even have to check because that's about 100% certain. We should do something about that.

So you do agree with the premise of the image? Because that's what I meant when I said it's useful lol

Edit: nevermind, I see where I went wrong. I remembered the comic as the girl talking about an iPhone, and imo having a phone is pretty necessary to participate in modern society at all. But yeah, headphones, not so much.

Nor are Apple products necessary. Smartphone? Yes. You could go with a Fairphone or anything else they more aligns with your views (though materials mined with slavery will still be there, I'm afraid). But complaining about Apple products while buying them just undermines your own credibility IMO
