    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.

            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.
