If you "stand with Apple" are you allowed to choose your own shoes? Or do you have to use only the ones they approve?

We shouldn't agree with Apple's position on many things.
But it is _essential_ that this precedent---government-mandated backdoors---not be allowed. The stage on which we fight the crypto wars is shared by what would be our enemies in many other respects. So yes, we should choose our own shoes: we can stand with Apple in resisting this order while at the same time standing _against_ them for all of their other evils. This issue does not somehow legitimize all of their other evils.
