Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers - feddit.nl

"Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to "grass root" it by Russian troll factories isn't going to change anything.

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing.

If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by "news", I don't mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too."

fuck yes. fuck russia. fuck russians.

You should approach the same fuck first approach to Israel and the us with what they are doing in Gaza and Lebanon while you are at it. That would show your adherence to standard behaviour in the light of current genocides going on.

Sure Russia is bad so fuck Russia but do you have the balls or boobs to say fuck Israel ?

Uhh…what are we talking about again?
Whataboutism 😂

Wow they really ran out of shit to say huh?

Not much left on the bottom of that barrel but some world salad with Russian dressing.

Yes, fuck Israel and fuck Russia. Not sure why I’m responding to this dumb bait, but here we are

It’s even funnier when we realize Russia is possibly the reason there even is an Israel-Palestine conflict.

Jews fled Russia between 1880 and 1920. While a large majority emigrated to the United States, some turned to Zionism. In 1882, members of Bilu and Hovevei Zion made what came to be known the First Aliyah to Palestine, then a part of the Ottoman Empire.

The Tsarist government sporadically encouraged Jewish emigration. In 1890, it approved the establishment of “The Society for the Support of Jewish Farmers and Artisans in Syria and Palestine”[51] (known as the “Odessa Committee” headed by Leon Pinsker) dedicated to practical aspects in establishing agricultural Jewish settlements in Palestine.

So they encouraged and supported those settlements.

And I’m pretty sure they indirectly triggered the ongoing conflict, where hamas attacked israel in 2023 october.

You should approach the same fuck first approach to Israel

Why should they do that in the comments section under a post about Russia?

If you think caring about one tragedy means ignoring another, that’s a ‘you’ problem.

People who actually care about human suffering don’t play the ‘whataboutism’ game—because it’s not a contest, it’s a crisis. Your deflection isn’t advocacy; it’s just lazy, performative outrage disguised as moral high ground.
