I’d say we are already far past the point. It’s just that that most people haven’t noticed it yet, and it is that late for that.

I think there is quite a bit of rational thought in the statements. Though, it is definitely clear the person was either emotional, or was trying to make you emotional (and apparently succeeded) :)
I 100% think that without support of government, such boycott or switch in choice priorities might be having some risks, especially in high-tech markets, where Europe is obviously behind. Though, the statement about taxes clearly incorrect, because decreasing taxes would straight lower ability of EMEA area to actually make the investment at all, especially in circumstances, when countries have to put huge fractions of their GDP into militarization on extremely short notice and with deadline set to “three years ago”.
Taking that into account, I think that was just a troll account, or not too intelligent person being fed a pile of disinformation. Regardless of what it is: it is the wisest to ignore opinions of such people, they are simply not worth the wasted energy :)
Leaving LinkedIn was easy, because it doesn't seem to be useful in my country (AT) + premium is too expensive IMO
It is really sad to admit that for me LinkedIn actually was useful: even though I was contacted by spammy recruiters, the matching ones were there too.
I wish other services were more popular in Europe, example being https://djinni.co/ — an anonymous job/candidate board built in Ukraine. I really liked the service in the past, though EU-based companies usually do not pos jobs there…
My take: Steam Deck is much better, just taking a terrible experience I've been having with ASUS laptop build, and how actually well-built the Steam Deck is.
My story is: I bought an LCD with 64 GB storage and upgraded it to 1TB, and made a few fixes already to the buttons (too hard of a player xD). And during disassembly, I was extremely happy with how it was built, because it is really simple to maintain, disassemble/assemble. Like it was actually built to last ;)
