But most Russians affected by these aren't shooting back. They aren't conscripts or have anything to do with the war (doubly so now that sanctions are in effect).
Shooting at solders trying to hurt you is one thing, but that's not what's happening here.
- vkou 5y agoNo, but all of them contribute to Russia's economy. And that war effort can't happen without a functioning economy.
- hda2 5y agoThis line of thinking leads to bombing schools and hospitals. This is how we get war crimes. I'm glad most people don't think the way you do.
- vkou 5y agoThen you should be happy that we're talking about refusing to cooperate in economic activity, instead of bombing schools and hospitals. Me refusing to transact with you isn't a war crime.
- hda2 5y ago> Me refusing to transact with you isn't a war crime. You refusing to transact with me isn't a war crime, but your line of thinking where normal citizen activities are similar to conscripts shooting at you can certainly lead to one. It's one thing to target citizens who work on applications for the military, and another to target open source devs because they happen to be Russian. If you can't acknowledge this distinction then I'm afraid we have to agree to disagree. Also please don't put words in my mouth. Strawmen will get us nowhere.
