Spewing stuff like what? Robert Maxwell, Ghislane Maxwell's father (a proud Zionist and Mossad agent) was the co-founder of McGraw Hill, the second largest textbook publishing company in the US. Are you trying to tell me a proud Zionist who is publishing textbooks is making it his priority to ensure they paint an objective picture of history in relationship to Israel? My textbooks (whether in High School or University) certainly didn't talk about the Sabbateans or Jacob Frank / Frankism - yet understanding their history is critical to anything approaching objectivity.
What I expect is for all narratives to be able to be questioned, and not for there to be one that is unquestionable. When narratives can't be questioned, it's a pretty good indicator that something is being lied about.
The amount of neo-antisemitism, ignorance towards history of antisemitism, Oct 7 denial, WW2 perpetrator/victim reversal, among other perception errors in this thread (and of course all online threads about this) is staggering and breathtaking.
At this point - except for this one message in this one thread on this one website - I have stopped all interaction with this topic online. I feel helpless, powerless and hope that this phase of human/news/information/power interaction is well past all of us within my lifetime.
As somebody who has been through various forms of psychotherapy, knows trained professional psychotherapists, knows highly educated personell in the relevant educational institutions, etc. the very mild summary that I think when reading what to my mind is a generalized statements like "Whole schools, e.g. psychotherapy, are possibly net dangerous." is:
Citation needed.
Also: Psychotherapy is not a school but is divided in many different schools.
As somebody who is also not a Kagi customer because of this the statement of Vlad is exactly "throwing his hands up".
Two quotes from his response:
"Any good search engine remains unimpressed by world politics."
"We set out to fix search, not the world."
All the technical explanations between these two quotes could have also been used to justify why they are not contributing to Russias economy.
But he didn't do that. That is a conscious choice while clearly being aware of the issue.
They are contributing to Russia's economy so I'm not sure what you hoped he'd say contrary to that. I don't consider someone buying from US businesses to be any kind of implicit support of my government, while at the same
time choosing to avoid businesses from a country in the manner desired here is taking a pretty strong political stance.
Same for me. I don't understand why they are not able to cleanly separate themselves from Yandex. Their explanations don't help me understand it but only serve as "we hear you and consciously decide to still fund a Russian company".
If anybody reading this is willing to disabuse me of this I'll try to be open for a different perspective.
After a quick internet search apparently Google produces Pixel phones mainly in Taiwan with additional processes happening in China and India.
What is the point you are trying to make?
