    It is one of Reagan’s most famous (and lucid) statements. The connection is fairly obvious to anyone familiar with the history.

      You literally didn’t use any of the words he used other than “wall” or reference him at all. Showing the Berlin wall with an Apple logo does nothing to indicate Reagan.

      This is such a ridiculous argument. Feel free to have the last word, I’m done dude.

        I’m not op but the post was made in the context of the article. The article which had a title modifying this quote about the Berlin Wall “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” to refer to Apple’s CEO.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tear_down_this_wall!

        As far as I can tell, the hyperbole was already present before OP shared the image.

        …Or have I misunderstood your point?
