You can provide cites that show that a lot of Democrats think Trump colluded with Russia. It's going to be real hard to come up with cites that 100% of Democrats do.
It's clear to me that Trump is a lot closer to the Russians than I like, and he has pushed pro-Russia policies more than most. Whether this amounts to collusion is something I'm waiting for the end of the Mueller investigation to decide.
Other people are sitting in a jail cell for so much as taking a selfie of themselves in a restricted area,
Which was a deliberate act. Having classified documents on an unclassified server is likely not a deliberate act. As far as I can tell, that's where the line is.
The pattern with conspiracy nuts is that they're so sure of what they believe that they have to find reasons, however far-fetched, why anyone disagreeing with them is wrong or corrupt or something. Say I were a global warming denier. I'd have to find ways to discredit anyone who disagreed with me and any evidence I found inconvenient. Since scientists almost universally agree that AGW is happening and that it will be bad, I have to find reasons why the scientists are necessarily wrong, and this varies from accusing them of total incompetence to accusing them of being in a vast conspiracy. Since there's lots of evidence that the temperatures are generally going up, I have to find ways to discredit the evidence. Since I'm a denier, I have the choice of staying a denier or actually considering evidence.
There have been conspiracies, and there has been evidence of conspiracy even when there wasn't one. It's entirely possible to believe in a conspiracy without being a conspiracy nut
Apple doesn't do the low end. They never have as far back as I can remember. You want to spend less than $100 on a smartphone, buy an Android. If you want a high-end phone, the iPhone is roughly as expensive as its Android equivalents, so it's pay your money and take your choice.
People with average salaries often piss away a lot of money, when you look at it on an annual basis. Spending $349 every few years isn't going to break them. (This is one reason many people blame the poor for pissing away the money they never had in the first place.)
Would you care to specify a time when they did? It certainly wasn't any time religion dominated.
We need to destroy this society
No, we don't. We're doing pretty well at getting rid of overarching authority telling people what to believe, which is more than most past societies have managed.
The situation is not symmetric. You're saying that the oppressor is basically the same as the oppressed. The black neighbor probably wants to get along with his or her life peacefully and effectively, and the white supremacist is against that. Heck, Machiavelli made that distinction. The people are more honest than the nobles because they seek to avoid oppression, while the nobility wants to oppress the people.
Would you care to name a time when the masses were better educated about philosophy and culture? There's always been some people at the top who are, but I fear you're expecting too much here.
Perhaps if we as a society paid for college as well as K-12 we could get more philosophy and culture into the general public. Then again, perhaps not.
The people in control of education are a very dispersed group. Some care about education. Some care about keeping student stupid for religious reasons. Some care about other things. Don't confuse them with the media.
I'm going to blame California, not Apple, for this one. I had a relative who worked in the Metropolitan Transit Commission here in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. When putting in light rail, they got a consultant from California, who absolutely insisted that all you needed for bus and train shelters was a roof, no walls. That is not a good idea in a Minnesota winter.
It doesn't matter what amount of time and resources Mueller's got. His investigation is not finished, and therefore we don't know what he's got in the way of evidence.
When people adopt Nazi ideology, Nazi symbolism, and call themselves Nazis, I'm going to consider them Nazis. It may be useful to call them neo-Nazis in some contexts.
Nazis are a proper subset of racists and/or white supremacists, and while there's doubtless Nazi trolls, there's trolls of all viewpoints that aren't Nazis. We agree there.
I'm unaware of the strong worker protections. I know the Nazis didn't mind disrupting white workers' lives. Direct governmental oversight of industry doesn't seem to match with what I've read of German industry before about 1944, and even then the Germans were doing less to regulate industry than the US or UK were. For example, the US War Production Board assigned certain aircraft manufacturers to produce certain types of aircraft under license, and I haven't found anything similar in Germany.
The reason I didn't bring up eugenics is that that, like the anti-vaccine movement, was from both right and left sources. That's not a distinguishing factor.
How easy does something have to be if you do it every two years at most?
Apple will replace the battery for $80. (Actually, they're offering cut-rate battery replacement for the 6 and newer.) iFixit will sell you a kit for $25.
How about Apple stop this insane race for a phone that's thinner than most people care about?
Because there's good evidence that lots of people do care about it, and their decision to spend money may depend on it. It seems a bit silly to me, but I'm not really representative of the iPhone market.
The typical lifespan of a car is considerably longer than the typical lifespan of a phone. It used to be that the lifespan of a phone was considered to be two years, and I'm not sure how much that's changed. I've also had car performance slightly deteriorate over time, and the slowing down is specifically to eliminate the chance of the equivalent of the engine stalling.
Warranties generally say something about the device working, and it still does.
Moral flexibility? What requires moral flexibility here? The hotel is in the business of letting people stay in its rooms for payment, so a clerk isn't being subversive by renting out a room.

If you think that beliefs supported by evidence are not distinguished from beliefs not supported by evidence, you're missing the entire point.

"Objective" is highly subjective. Have you done anything to check if your viewpoint has gone rightwards while the Economist stayed in place?

That's not the report I've heard, but it's incomplete. I'll know more in a few days.

And now you've brought up a legitimate problem: Apple techs that don't do something fairly cheap to deal with a slow phone.
So why didn't they? Is it possible that lots of people do care about the thinness, and that making the phone thicker would hurt sales?
Also, exactly what is the expected lifetime? It at least used to be two years.

Hold on. The usability of something is based on how it can be used, how easily it can be, etc. The CPU speed is unimportant by itself.
Are you saying that Apple is advertising one speed and delivering another? Or that battery degradation slows down the CPU? There's a difference.
That's called a design tradeoff. The phone still works.

I'd call that Russian Empire version 3. The Soviet Union was to a large extent the Russian Empire with new ideology.
