    It matters within the context of this comment thread about a company using assets from specific state commiting genocide that had caused more than 2 million casualties in 4 years. …

    No, it's simpler than that - there's an ongoing genocide in Ukraine, a country that was at peace and posed threat to no one. The guys that surrendered their nukes in exchange for s…

    Why are you trying to divert the topic? You don't think the genocide in Ukraine has enough scale of a tragedy, with more than 2 million casualties since 2022? Isn't this enough to …

    Well the last time the US committed genocide of a culture was way before any tech company was founded, while Russia is doing it since 2022 - by their own admission. If we count of …

    The difference is information manipulation, like misinformation. While there should be a complete sanction of Russian products, cod is cod, it's a consumable that has to follow pub…

    In the end isn't this just the long tail of signaling wealth? Having what others don't. Not only they don't have, but they can't have it, and faking it won't cut it. Like a lot of …

    I'm not being unable to separate crime from policy, you're the one trying to dilute both as showing a signal to policy change. If this was just a political action to take down just…

    Well it isn't much contortionism when you look at the big picture you'll find that corruption is an institution in some countries. For example, you're making an effort to try legit…

    There's been a lot of pressure to break the EU for quite some time, and now even the US is also aiming for this. It's a lot of misinformation and funding from too many countries, f…

    One thing that stood out to me some years ago and I found interesting is that depending on the language I'm using my thought patterns kind of change. Putting in another term, I thi…

    With the massive bot networks shoving misinformation and propaganda, it's also a new infrastructure that will destabilize a lot of countries unfortunately.

    I don't think the problem is that there aren't people in the market for it, but more that increasingly products that used to be meant for the average middle class are now perks for…
