I thought Yandex was blacklisted by a lot of countries?

Well for someone like me from a non-western country, America and Russia are not very different. If I should be concerned about the 2% of Kagi subscription, then I would actually have to be concerned anout the 100%, and hence cancel it.

The narrative of good Western countries vs bad Russia (and nowadays China) is just pure comedy and completely absurd to me. It is just a moral high ground which exist only in the imagination of westerners.

Its only 2% mercury in your food, don't worry that its a deadly neurological poison. 98% of the food is just regular ingredients. There's just no way that mercury is going to do you any harm over any sort of length of time.

Your logic is flawed.

It isn’t.

2% Mercury, sure.

But that doesn’t mean the other 98% is good. A decent chunk of that 98% could be bombing schools in Iran, for example. Or funding a genocide in Gaza.

Russia bad, yes. USA bad, also yes. UK bad, also yes. Germany bad, also yes. And so on.

So, in your opinion, what countries are good?

I don’t need to think that any country is “good”.
You can compare two countries in relation to a specific topic/issue. But they will probably be worse on another topic.

Your logic is flawed. Boycotting a Russia supporting company doesn’t mean you should support American ones

Rules:

  1. No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.

  2. Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.

  3. Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.

  4. Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.

  5. Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like ThreadReaderApp.com or Nitter, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

  6. Don't just complain about paywalls. If you encounter one, be a sport and link to an archived version instead. Use Firefox + Cookie AutoDelete + uBlock Origin with the annoyances filters enabled and https://filterlists.com/... to avoid encountering many in the first place.
