Blanket insults to Russians would be bigotry, as "Russian" is a nationality comprised of many ethnicities, not a "race". Words have meanings.

So, yes, let's not ostracize Russians carte blanche. Rather, let's do that to those who support Putin and his wars of aggression and genocide of Ukrainians.

Simply put, "Fuck Russianz."

Really insightful, thank you. Please give me a recipe for a cheese sandwich.

Cool.

That's rich coming from you, considering the word-salad you just typed up.

That's not how words work. Ordinary Russians don't deserve blanket animosity or praise, yes. However, one can claim disliking Russians wholesale is bigotry, not racism. Words have definitions even if you pretend they don't so you can virtue signal on the internet.

The individuals in question work for sanctioned companies.

Ah, yes. Russia. A paragon of moral societal standards and behavior.

Just so we're clear, your opinion is that Russians working for sanctioned companies should remain as maintainers of the kernel because Torvalds is a Finn and that he's obligated to Russia because "Finland bad"?

So, therefore, Putin can and should exploit access to the kernel via these Russian maintainers because Finland is somehow historically worse than the USSR?

Am I misunderstanding you?

I looked at your post history, and what stood out was how frequently you post.

Sociopathic clown-shoes up here acting like they totally aren't bitch-made "ChAmPiOnS oF tHe PeOpLe'S rEpUbLiC" tryna overthrow NATO with their Molotov-sippy-cups.

Keep going "CoMrAdE", the utopia is one smarmy online comment away.

Keep going. You're almost close to overthrowing the U.S. government.

The Russian economy after over 1k days of war ~~is evaporized~~ has evaporated and now Putin is Xi's little dog. ~~so~~ If we all work together, nobody will remember a country called Russia in 100 years. Nations are just a ~~phantasy~~ fantasy, and it won't hurt to let go of some.

I think it's scary that the Russian Federation will probably "Balkanize" if Ukraine won't capitulate, and with how many nuclear weapons it has, that's terrifying to consider.

Then again, they probably don't work very well given what we've seen about the performance of the so-called "2nd/3rd most powerful army on Earth". But even a few potentially in the hands of an even more unhinged maniac than Putin is unsettling, to say the least.
