That's not an AnCap (anarcho-capitalism) sticker it's an anti-capitalisim sticker, but it's obvious you knew that and just mixed up the acronyms so forgive me for being pedantic but it is important for the point I wanted to make. I don't want you to think I forgot the context of the meme, but you shouldn't forget the context of your comment. You have said directly that any apple product, new or used, with an anti-capitalist sticker on it would indicate hypocrisy by the owner. I said that would be a hard position to defend, and then got you to say that your car isn't an example of hypocrisy using the fact that it's used as support. I think that's a solid hit on my point that your argument is difficult to defend because for some reason you get that defense and she doesn't
On the totally separate personal values-driven argument in the context of the meme, anti-capitalist doesn't mean "responsible and frugal capitalism". It means anti-capitalism, and while sure, there's probably some hypocrisy there, the idea that the brand you pick says something about you is absolutely not one of the points they as a movement are making. For hypocrisy you have to show them saying one thing and doing a contrary one. To say that certain specific brands aren't acceptable for people against capitalism is a misunderstand of anti-capitalisim. They all get nationalized and you're still allowed to have cool shit in Star Trek.
