    I don’t think it’s hypocritical if you’re against a foreign nation from using your own nation’s tech in their military, especially if it’s hostile towards yours? That seems like a no brainer. It’s like selling weapons to your enemy, that’s essentially treason (not that it means anything right now with Trump lol). It’s only hypocritical if they are against it simply for using it.

      In general agreed, but also depends on what the reason you gave on if you are a hypocrite.

      IE if you said “I’m not opening this up to Chinese millitary use because I don’t want anyone to be killed using the tool I’ve made”.

      on the other hand if your reason given was

      “I am not opening this up to chinese millitary because I would fear they might use this against the US millitary”. then you at least aren’t bullshitting anyone.

      Just because my government has a list of enemies, doesn’t mean they’re my enemies too.

        I guess? Although that’s not what I was referring to anyways. Whether your government considers a nation an enemy or not doesn’t mean that other nation isn’t hostile to yours and the people in it.

          I’m struggling to think of another government that is more hostile to Americans than the US government.
