The rancor this protest has caused in certain tech circles has really shown that we believe we're somehow different or better than the rest of the world.
In the real world 1 specific region has violated the norms the rest of us have agreed to ... you don't get to indiscriminately kill innocents while taking their land and has accted appropriately by cutting them off.
In the tech world we are screaming about how the people in that region are getting inconvenienced by the free tools we provide because we are supposed to be above "politics"
