lemmy.ml: Firefox v98.0.1 removed Yandex search option and used misleading bug name to hide it
The Putin Regime is diabolical, of course. And divestments and boycotts helped bring down South Africa apartheid, so such actions they have their place. But I think what bothers a lot of people is the double standards of corporations doing business with, say, the likes of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who trample over human rights and whose brutality has created the worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen. It’s definitely worth debating the targeting and effectiveness (and consistency, or lack thereof) in such pulling of services.
Ah yeah Russia is committing apartheid on people… was it not Ukraine committing apartheid on ethnic Russians and the Russian language since 2014? Just like Israel on Palestine?
I don’t remember saying anything about that? I was talking about boycotts and divestments as strategies. I’m certainly not going to defend the Ukrainian state any more than I am the Russian state as somehow the poor little “oppressed” entity; that’s ludicrous (and kind of grotesque to compare Russia to Palestine…jfc). It’s the people I care about, not nation-states.
Way to put words in the commenters mouth. The fuck are you on about.
