Should they also stop using American tech because of the vast list of American war crimes?

Well there are millions of European trying to avoid US tech. It's hard. A lot harder than Russian tech.

As for the comparison, I don't think it's fair. The US has not yet invaded its neighbor, Canada, leading to millions of deaths and heavy casualties. Let's not adopt your binary view on this matter.

So it's ok if they invade far-away countries, napalm bomb them leading to millions of casualties, but not ok to invade neighboring countries?

The US is responsible for far more pain and suffering in my nock of the world, so it's funny when Americans act like they have some sort of moral high ground.

Whoa! You don't know where they are from. Given time zones, it's likely they are from Europe

Or very far eastern Canada :D

>As for the comparison, I don't think it's fair. The US has not yet invaded its neighbor, Canada, leading to millions of deaths and heavy casualties. Let's not adopt your binary view on this matter.

No, just bombed, invaded, overthrew governments, etc in dozens of countries all around the world...

Yet not annexed anyone so far (seems like US today is another case).

Given that we talk about mostly white European settlers, just the huge majority of native american lands, a good chunk of Mexico, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and several smaller places, areas controlled as "banana republics", Phillipines, and who knows, eventually Greenland, and even talk about Canada, unserious as it likely is.

And with no own ethnic population there to begin with or continuous historical ties to the area.

The US invaded Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, Syria, Latin America etc.

The list is too long. So here's a link showing the list of invasions, bombings, and CIA-backed regime-change operations in other countries:

The estimates are that the US has killed between 20 and 30 million people after WWII.

And these are just direct kills. The figure is much higher if you count indirect kills through means of economic sanctions.

Yes, I know, didn't you read the "Well there are millions of European trying to avoid US tech. It's hard. A lot harder than Russian tech." sentence above ?

You're comparing a war currently being played by Russia, destroying their own country by the way, to past wars.

I'm not saying the US didn't trigger wars and their casualties. It's of course true.

> You're comparing a war currently being played by Russia, destroying their own country by the way, to past wars.

During the past year and a half, the US has bombed Iran, Venezuela, Iraq, Yemen and Mexico. It has provided free bombs to a country that has been bombing Palestine (genocide), Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran.

It has kidnapped the leader of a country and assassinated the leader of another country.

It has pirated all oil shipments to Cuba, causing a severe crisis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_fuel_blocka...

Avoiding Russian tech, specifically Yandex, is also hard because Yandex is one of only three search indexes that aren't corrupted to all hell with business interests. The other ones being Marginalia and Mojeek. Of those, it's the only one that has image search.

They have only threatened to do that, yes

hypocritical scum... US is supporting genocide, killed a whole school full of children and destroying the entire world's economy with their war trying to destroy yet another nation for the sake of jewish supremacists genocidal scum.

The US bombed a school? Where's the worldwide outrage in reaction to Russia destroying HUNDREDS of them in Ukraine? While everyone is hyperfixated on the US, Russia has deliberately targeted schools, hospitals, kindergartens, supermarkets, apartment buildings and far more in targeted terror campaigns. And yet all is silent in the West, in fact every attempt to bring up the evil of Russia is immediately drowned out by BUT WHAT ABOUT. Every single time. It's because this isn't really about schools. This just lets people quietly signal their support for Russia for them standing up to 'the West' by murdering hundreds of thousands of people. Whatever evil the US has committed in the past and is supporting now, Russia has done tenfold in just this war. The list of kidnappings, plundering, torture and rape that they've committed is practically endless. They have no mercy, but many Westerners have had their brains melted by east-vs-west 'discourse' and they won't ever understand.

no one is going to read all this, just say you are a goy slave that worship jews and don't value the lives they kill.. it is shorter.

Bro, it sounds like you have some deep-seated religious hatred in you.

you created a throw394774 to tell me that :) ... no body cares about that garbage any more, we can see the rabid dogs for what they are.

Indeed, the comparison isnt fair. The US is complicit in a genocide recognised by the UN and many of the US's own allies.

I mean yes, there's an enormous movement to diversify away from american tech currently in the EU, and a massive amount of investment to get away from the entire american tech bubble

I have no idea why you're phrasing this like this when so much money is being put into solving precisely this problem right now

> have no idea why you're phrasing this like this

Because Kagi is in California.

Do we live in Ecotopia ? Did I miss the news ? Hopefully yes.

Impeccable argument.
