i do not understand people who feel the need to vet the political stances of people who maintain / contribute to FOSS projects. it's *free*. like if Hitler himself came back from the dead and wrote a viable alternative to Calibre and released it under a permissive license you can bet your ass i'd use it.

@rowb1t personally I would use free software written by some chud but not by someone who has actually killed millions of people. ideology is one thing action is another.
@georgia @rowb1t shitposting aside. genuine question, what if they were owned by US marines, or had an amerikkkan flag etched onto them? millions of people have been killed, in comparably atrocious ways, by our government and military. given our long history, more by volume as well, and given things like our state sponsorship of israel, no less genocidally.
@salt @rowb1t actually the genocides by the US (trail of tears) and israel (gaza) are much less severe than the holocaust in terms of scale, scope, method, and degree of intentionality. not all genocides are comparable just because theyre genocides. but I wouldnt eat something with an IDF or an army logo on it either because I dont support either shitty institution. I'm pretty much a pacifist also. my only exception is kurukshetra wars.
