      Really sticking it to those... friendly Russian kernel maintainers. Really doing your part for your individual Two Minutes Hate.

      So presumably, as a consistent person that is outrages by invasions and death, you call for the expulsion of all Americans and Usraelis, right?

      He is a finn, what do you expect from him?

      Continued use of the swastika in his military and a stubborn refusal to acknowledge how many Soviets the Finns starved to death in Leningrad while working with the Third Reich, presumably.

      Ok western chauvinist. Why doesn’t he ban the genocidal Israelis? It’s because he is full of shit and a racist

            ...because removing somebody's kernel maintainer priv and the industrialised genocide of people is remotely comparable.

              The principle remains. “My government is bad so I have to also be bad” is not a valid argument, no matter the relative levels of badness. It’s a lazy, morally bankrupt worldview

              And Linus didn’t do his racist shit while dragging his feet anyway, he did so gleefully and while repeating chauvinist racist narratives

        Because he's not making any political, moral, or personal decisions, and only follows the law he is forced to.

        When the law forces him to sanction Israel, he will do so, and when the law stops forcing him to sanction Russia, he will stop doing so.

          bullshit, his statement was unprofessionally filled with glee at banning russians who he clearly sees as evil as a whole, as he's banning people who have nothing to do with the war that he has worked with for years just so he can make a libshit stink over it.

            I completely agree he was unprofessional about it and should have handled it better. It was his choice in how he communicated it, and I think he failed on that point. Having said that, it was not his choice to do it, and I'm sure he will undue it when it's legally possible. Hopefully using better judgement on his choice of words then.

                No, not nice at all. I'm answering your question on why he doesn't ban Israeli contributors, not deliberating on the niceness of anyone in particular.

      Would you support him banning AmeriKKKan and Isn'treali developers too, given that their countries' war crimes are far grander in scale, horror, and devastation than Russia's?

        Plus, they actually have a history of injecting backdoors into everything. Israel's government is known in the international stage for their espionage and blackmail first and foremost (on the domestic, for their genocide of course).

      not to be a bigoted piece of shit? i guess we can't expect that from either of you worthless hounds.

      if he wasn't a complete hypocrite he'd ban people from the u.s. and israel as well.
