I know. I love Russians. I wish Oleg Strizhenov, Bradshaw and Aleksandr Dulerayn, Anna Melikian, and the gals from Pussy Riot all the best. May their government cease being made up of Mafiya members The West recognized in the early 90s as soon as possible.
I objected to the device being produced in (and hence paying taxes to) The Russian Federation, not being made by Russians.
I love Russians.
You sure don't support them enough for how much you speak of how you love them.
Or maybe you mean you love , like love, them?
Are you asking if I would fuck a Russian? 🤨
If the shoe fits...
But yes, really, you are doing a lot of grandstanding on how you love Russians, apparently so much that you'd leave them to rot just because they have to interact with their own society in order to subsist.
Just like, you know, everyone else.
Are...you asking if I'd fuck a shoe?
I don't know, I'm American, I can't really eat if I don't indirectly pay money to the largest neo-imperialist empire in the world (who is currently funding a genocide btw).
There is no ethical consumption. You either consume unethically or you die.
You could. Food is there for stealing. Land is there for growing on. People might shoot at you for trying, but you could.
I'm pretty sure that phrase isn't actually a call to apathy.
I assume you're speaking in jest?
Not attempting to make a call to apathy. On the contrary, I just reject the idea that what you buy from who is leading to any material improvement in society. I think there are much better ways to push for positive change. Like sure, don't buy the thing, but don't fool yourself into thinking you've made a difference. Helping your community/mutual-aid, direct action, these are the sorts of things that I think go a lot further towards resulting in positive material changes.
You know what they say about assuming.
My abstention was based in not contributing to negative change.
