I always think about what the moderate liberals I know would say to memes like this to determine if it’s a strong or weak meme. This one is weak because point 1 implies there are gas stations that market themselves as American/Canadian gas only (I don’t know of any but Feel free to inform me) and further that gasoline is not a fungible commodity (it is).
Point 2 is weaker still because the Chinese slave labor that is being referenced in popular anti-Apple or anti-Nike campaigns is voluntary no-minimum-wage-Capitalism, which libertarians and conservatives generally support. I certainly do, even in countries where the first jobs being created as they escape 3rd world status are low wage relative to first world countries, and even though the CCP itself is brutal and anti-American (not to mention anti-religion and anti-culture to the point of internment camps).
