Boycotting FOSS projects in the wake of the "buy canadian/european" movement makes no sense (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I've seen many threads suggesting products but they often don't mention FOSS projects, which should always be preferred to corporate software. With FOSS you are already boycotting capitalism, on either side. Free and Open Source ignores borders and shouldn't be categorized in nationalist terms, no matter where some of the maintainers happen to live.

Not choosing to vote [...] is endorsing the establishment.

Where is the logic in that? By voting you're actively acknowledging the legitimacy of the State. How would not voting be an endorsement of anything, as you see it?
