Yes, but punish the government and those who support those governments. The majority of people who live in a fascist country do not agree with the government otherwise fascism wouldn't be necessary.

I live in the US and I don't agree with nor apologize for the anti-trans, anti-women, anti-immigrant, and racist policies the federal government has recently implemented. In fact many policies directly affect me and my wellbeing.

I voted against them, but unfortunately we weren't given an option to vote for something better because of the way things work here. And many of these countries don't even have that. Nor do I think anyone else who lives in or visits the US should be punished for the actions of its government. Same goes for any other country.

And in this case it looks like it may just be someone visited one of those countries sometime in the past, though details are scarce. I get then need to sanction people involved with the bad stuff, but people who just visit or live there with no other connection to the bad stuff is a little extreme. Especially since contributing to this project, for free, is not producing profit for or supporting any government.

@irotsoma ok, you are clear, you voted against it. Now consider that US is sanctioning github projects, whose contributors logged in from Crimea. Is going to Crimea the same as voting against fascism? Keeping silence because "we don't talk about politics" and then enjoying the fruits of putin's violence? I don't think so, and I don't see any clear statement from @organicmaps
- make a statement
- or don't fucking go to occupied Ukraine
- or get gicked out of everywhere
