> Values are applied consistently
I don’t know of many governments have have waged war in Europe recently.
You can mess around in the garden (overseas) as much as you want, as long as you keep the house clean.
That’s not fair, but it is consistent.
Beautiful. FTR I'm totally against the war and completely understand where namecheap is coming from. But this is proper racist.
I would also call it xenophobia as well. I can't believe what I'm reading here.
This is proper racist post-colonialism, or am I missing sarcasm tag?
No, no, this is me trying to indicate what is implicitly said by getting so worked up about an invasion of Ukraine while being perfectly fine with one in Iraq.
I mean, people weren't exactly fine with it, but I didn't see anyone sanctioning the US govt either.
Of course the alternative is saying that it's fine as long as it's us (western'ish world) invading them, instead of us being invaded, but that's even more hypocritical.
Yes, I see, thanks for clearing it up. I understand and can agree with this reasoning, - even if as a Russian (anti Putin and anti war, of course), this war is just too painful and too overwhelming for me to consider it in a broader anti-colonialist picture.

I guess xanaxagoras was just assuming that the CEO of Namecheap had basic human decency.
