Sure. But this is one of those stories that hits right down the middle in places like Lemmy: it's a fascist government causing harm to a company with a long history of anti-human operation. It's a total sweating-guy-two-buttons meme situation: "Trump is a fascist" vs "And Nothing Of Value Was Lost." Seems like most people are picking a side. I think we shouldn't.
I think people pick sides far less often than the internet likes to presume that they do.
I tend to agree, but the internet amplifies polarization. Not a great thing for discourse.
Why not both?
That's...literally what I'm saying with this comment.
Fair enough. I interpreted it as "why not neither," but believe both (despite sounding hyperbolic) are actually, verifiably true.
