I simply don’t get this mentality. I’m sure you do realize, that companies such as Microsoft still operate in Russia. You think all people over there are running Linux? Aside from how unbelievably stupid your take is, guess they are traitors too. But you’ll still keep using their OS and Office suite for millenia to come.
MS stopped selling licenses last year and blocked the ones operating this year (non renewal). But I get your point, only not all the big companies stayed
What exactly did they block? You can still buy any Microsoft product in Russia, your online subscriptions are still billed in rubles, you can pay them from any card Visa or Mastercard accept. As of now there are no problems at all with Microsoft products in Russia.
Sorry, don’t get your point. A company may say one thing like Burger King said they will dump Russia. The reality at least currently with both Burger King and Microsoft is another thing.
Since I’m not living in Russia I can’t tell you what exactly is happening there but I can read what they told the world (with no one telling it’s false)
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Russia did have larger linux adoption. It’s not unheard of for countries to be (in my opinion baselessly) suspicious that microsoft contains american spyware.
If operating in bad countries is a reason to have your little boycott, then not operating in Russia won’t budge the dial because BK will keep operating in the US irrespective.

I am also saying that, if one is concerned with “Does BK exist in bad countries?”, the Russia question is irrelevant because BK will always be in the bad country that is the US, making its specific actions in any other context moot as the question is already answered.
Burger King will never see a single cent from me, fucking traitors
where did you shop while the united states was occupying iraq and afghanistan?
Around these parts, we salute the McDonald’s flag flying over Guantanamo Bay.

You’re assuming Russians pay for MS licenses
(Note: I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, just that piracy is rampant in Russia)

Uncritical support for FitGirl. Unless they’re a transphobe like Empress, I guess.

That must be why they finally killed hwidgen

They surely do, but none of the Russians or Ukrainians I know have ever heard of Linux.
looking into it there is a russian version of linux that is widely used by the Russian government and it’s trying to push wider civilian adoption
That’s honestly great! Now we need the same here in the EU.
Edit: sleepy brain wrote Europe instead of EU
Russia is in Europe
Most of it is in Asia but I agree, should have phrased that better. European Union is what I meant :)
Extend that to all companies and capitalism is over party.
Good.
So brave
relax they sell burgers not cruise missiles
also new tagline
You know BK still operates in the US, right?
And?

Sure… but he wants to stop giving them money… that still is on US doesn’t matter.
Ok I get it now… you are saying US is a bad country. I didn’t catch on that.

Hehehehe
You people throw around ‘traitor’ so much its nearly lost all meaning.
The consumer feels betrayed by the slophouse!
