    So they complied with a fascist regime to avoid fines and repercussions… They still complied with a fascist regime. Pretty bit thing if you ask me.

      As I said in another comment, it’s not Microsoft’s position to be the judge of who is and isn’t fascist. It’s their position to stay in business, and you don’t do that by disobeying the government.

      Do you think Microsoft should have sacrificed the entire company instead of follow the law?

        They could move their main office e to Canada and say “fuck you”. It’s like Hugo Boss, Volkswagen, Mercedes etc. They they preferred to support the nazis for more profits.

        Don’t you think Microsoft has any power? The entire government runs on Windows. It’s a massive company. They have the power to say “no” but they won’t. So they are also a bunch of nazis. This is the time to choose a side, and Microsoft just did.

            Shell was unhappy so they moved from the Netherlands to the UK. It’s not that hard. Shell is a huge company too.

            When you support nazis, you’re a nazi. Again, not that hard.

            A Danish company returned their entire car fleet back to Tesla because Elon is a nazi. Clearly they are not nazi sympathizers. People who buy a Tesla are.

            By complying with nazis you empower them. It’s how Hitler came to power, it’s how Trump came to power. Huge companies like Shell and Microsoft can take the small hit to move to a non-nazi country. Their profits are big enough. When you have a small business and you don’t have a choice, I can understand. Everyone has to eat. But when you do have a choice, I will judge your choice.
