I’ve seen many threads suggesting products but they often don’t mention FOSS projects, which should always be preferred to corporate software. With FOSS you are already boycotting capitalism, on either side. Free and Open Source ignores borders and shouldn’t be categorized in nationalist terms, no matter where some of the maintainers happen to live.

    All true. But the world also watched a huge amount of voters rejects dems over gaza. While trump had no better plans on gaxa.

    Much like Ukraine his only argument is “i am better and every one else was stupid”

    The argument often heard. “Voting the lesser of 2 evils is still voting evil”.

    So yes these folks very much voted the greater of 2 evils by refusing to vote the lesser option. And much of the rest of the world is rightfully sorta pissed at the evil they allowed in.

      Maybe a system that regularly gives us “evil vs lesser evil but still evil” as our only options isn’t worth saving

        Sorta like the trolly problem.

        You can flip the lever to kill 5 or 1. But if you choose not to and also don’t fucking bother to hit the breaks. Your still responsible for killing 5 instead of 1.

        If you are not willing to actually stop the evil fai.ing to selects make you the bigger evil.

          I actually hate how the trolley problem is misinterpreted. It’s not a question of “will you kill one person or kill 5?”. If you pull the lever, you are murdering somebody. If you do nothing, you killed no one, whoever put them on the tracks killed them. Whether it’s morally acceptable to murder one person in order to save 5 is an interesting thought experiment but that’s all it is.
