Nearly every American tech company actively started going after "White people" (which is just another name for Europeans) both with political PR and with actual actions and that didn't seem to effect their European sales so that's probably not it.
- archagon 1y agoOccam's razor: your premise is false. Nobody feels aggrieved by these purported actions except far-right pundits and those trapped in their propaganda web. (And I say this as a white person.) In contrast, Musk said that people I care about were part of the "parasite class" and chuckled about cutting their benefits. Fuck that.
- msgodel 1y agoHow is that Occam's razor? Also that's a little bold of you to speak for rest of us that way.
- mcv 1y agoWhat do you mean by "go after white people"? They go after everybody. American tech companies plaster every corner of the internet with whatever they're trying to sell or own. And if you want to boycott them, I'm all for that. I don't buy from Amazon or Microsoft either. There are alternatives to Google. It's true that they've made enormous inroads into Europe in recent years, but now that they all seem to support America's increasing turn towards fascism, you will also see Europe slowly move away from them. But abandoning the cloud infrastructure that you just invested millions in, is a lot harder than buying a different car, so the change is slower.
