TLDR;
It literally hurts me personally to see this happening. It’s like a kick in the gut. I used to be proud about having had an involvement with the Linux kernel community in a previous life. This doesn’t feel like the community I remember being part of.

Employees of the russian war machine, literally the most oppressed class of them all 😔
Knee-jerk jingoism, just how the security state likes it.
They’re just working class people trying to get by in a shitty bourgeois democracy, just like us. They have as much say in what the state does as we do, which is almost none.
I feel bad about the Russian conscripts who are being thrown at the front line in meat wave attacks to soak up bullets. I also support the Ukrainians firing those bullets because I recognize that there is a damn war going on.
I don’t have to feel ethnic or any other kind of hatred for Russian Linux developers to recognize that this is war and hobbling Russia’s technology sector is a necessary part of that. Every bit of lubricant for the Russian economy ultimately equates to more death in Ukraine.
The burden of war-crime should be on the Russian citizens who indirectly or directly fund the Russian government, but not on USians, whose support to their settler government does more harm to the rest of the world.
If the entire world was so keen on taking their grudge against the USA, it would’ve been turned to cinder. Take your intersectional xenophobia somewhere else.
I might upvote this if only I could decipher it.
