100% agree with you! Now our politicians made this mess, we shouldn't make it even messier by making people suffer
I am not saying this, I am saying we shouldn't be politicizing software and punish ordinary people. I know Ukrainians are suffering and suffering of Russians at this moment is very small compared to them, but this doesn't mean we should make them suffer even more. Do you think Russians will like these actions? No, I think their hate will increase and they would support Putin even more.
> That it didn't happen then doesn't mean it shouldn't happen next time. Or now, in the case of Russia re: Ukraine.
Somehow I am pretty sure if US invades any other country now, there would be another excuse and no sanctions at all. I don't hold knowledge of the future, but past events are super clear what would happen. Iraq, Libya, ....
Also why not same support for Palestinian people? do you think they are terrorists? I mean 100% of them? Do you think Palestine has power to withstand Israeli attacks or similar military capacity? Why West not sanctioning Israel, which is happening now?
Not saying we shouldn't support Ukraine, what I am saying is we should equally support everyone who is suffering. And we shouldn't make people suffer even more.
Because similar action wasn't taken against Google when US invaded so many countries!
> Just because you don't agree with Mozilla on this action doesn't make it oppression of free speech. This is simply one organization deciding not to have a relationship with another organization.
In this case taking away choice from Russians not from organization. Of course they are going to use just website, but still there is clear signal to selectively support one side, even though action of other parties were equally bad. Why open source software is making decisions based on politics happening around.
> Discover, experience and connect with apps, websites and people on your own terms, everywhere.
Why do you not give people choice on their own terms, everywhere?
This is hypocrisy of Western democracy. I can't recall when Google was removed after US invaded so many countries. Why do Western companies oppress free speech when it doesn't match their narrative (Julian Assange, now Russian media)?
Why not give Russian "propaganda" tell its narratives and let people decide? Are you afraid of their truth/"truth" or are you afraid people will follow them? If you think people are stupid to decide, why do you allow them to even vote for a President of a country?
Why US thinks it is ok to expand NATO to the borders of Russia, but didn't think Soviet military in Cuba is ok?
Where are all liberals fighting for human rights and free speech?
* US invasion - good guys killing bad guys
* Russian invasion - bad guys killing good guys
* China human right violations - "west" only condemns, because we are too much dependent on cheap products.
* US tells Iraq has biological weapons - yeah let's start the war.
* Russia tells Ukraine has biological weapons - yeah, propaganda as usual.
I have so many questions, but pretty sure no one is going to answer them constructively thanks to cancel culture (and the reason for throw away account) where "liberals" cancel you if they don't agree with you, responses I might get "whataboutism"
I am anti-war in all countries, because at the end of the day ordinary people suffer. But why people are demanding protests from Russian people to overthrow Putin (which I doubt they can, unless their military people decide to support) when they weren't able to stop war in Iraq, Afghanistan or any other US invaded country by protesting? Do you think you have moral rights to ask Russian people to do something when you were silent, when you couldn't even save Julian Assange? (by the way I am not Russian)
Stop pretending you are right!
Give other side chance to speak!
As a long time Firefox user, this saddens me!
