Yes, people buy oil from middle eastern tyrannies, everything from China, things made from dubiously sourced raw materials etc. - but they somehow draw the line at one particular conflict or nation (not always Russia).


Well, you have to start drawing lines somewhere, and focus on an issue or two that are important to you. You will only end up spreading yourself thin (and not making an impact at all with anything) if you try to draw every line "correctly".


China isn't invading Ukraine, assassinating people in Europe, and things like that.

But no, I don't like the Chinese government either.


On the other hand there is the little matter of the Uygur genocide, and the suppression of other minority cultures.


With that logic you could do and buy everything. If you don't start somewhere you don't start at all.
