I asked on Mastodon a few minutes ago if Alternativeto.net was going to add any country fields or badges in order to make it easier for users like us to choose and already got this answer! Feel free to go boost favorite/boost their answer here.

Well good, because hating a whole group of people as if they're all one identical horrible person is so much more enlightened and forward-thinking than whatever old-school form of hate the new hate is hating. The world is so much easier when it's a meme and everybody has a black hat or a white hat so you don't have to think.

The problem isn't all the people, it's the leverage that sufficiently terrible governments has against companies in their jurisdiction

Because there's no difference between racism and criticizing a government amirite

No you're wrong, and also wrong to define boycotting everyone who lives and works in a country as "criticizing a government." But again, go ahead and see the world as a meme if that's your limit.

No one is entitled to my money, I can buy from whatever country, corporation or person I see fit. If I decide you support something (directly or indirectly) that does not align with my values thats tough luck.
