The thorough dehumanization, conflating every single individual in other countries into a single enemy-image, is an obvious component of US preparation for a total global war. US war planners are spelling it out https://youtu.be/6vYV5kM1gyg?t=2213
I don’t think the US is interested in a more total global war than it’s already engaged in. Conflating all others into a single dehumanized enemy just means the US can kill whomever it likes whenever it likes, and that’s not really a new concept for the country.

Anyone surprised? he is a fin
I’m also not going to start discussing legal issues with random internet people who I seriously suspect are paid actors and/or have been riled up by them.
Everyone Who Disagrees With Me is a Russian Bot is the perfect unfalsifiable truth for these libs.
Known liberal Linus Torvalds engages in liberal behavior
Oh fuck the lemmy.ml thread is full of scratched liberals screaming about Russia bad and Russians bad and this is good actually. .world and .shitworks continue to be a mistake.
There are two of them (the other). The one posted by a lemmygrad user has less librained comments (probably because the lib instances blocked lemmygrad a long time ago).
they always say ‘because of connections to Russia’ and never ‘because they were Russian’
I don’t even get it, why have a smoke show when we all know exactly what you want to say
It’ so liberals can lie to themselves easier when they do this shit.
Compliance
COMPLY
My question is how much of this is needing to comply with sanctions and how much of this is Linus being a russophobic ass
Hes from finland so Im sure its at least 90% russophobia at minimum.
Moved to the US like 30 years ago so it’s a 3x russophobia multiplier
Which makes me think he would have pulled the trigger earlier
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.
Imagine if the rest of Europe was as revanchist about each other as Finland is to Russia
They fought one short border war in the lead up to WW2, but to hear the Finns talk about it they make it seem like Russia was personally massacring every single civilian they could for fun on their way to burn down Helsinki
Imagine if France still held out a deep mistrust and hatred of the Germans for two world wars, or the Belgians for the Franco-Flemish war. One war a century ago and Finland can’t get the fuck over it
That’s because Europeans actually love fascism, and will never forgive the USSR for saving them from it. In their eyes, the only thing Nazi Germany did wrong was do to Europe what Europe was doing to the rest of the world.
Ok maybe not all Europeans, but that ship sailed when the SPD sent the freikorps to kill Rosa and Karl.
There are lots of boomers that are also very mad about Finlandisation. In their view, the big bad Soviet Union unfairly leaned on smol bean Finland to take a diplomatically neutral position during the Cold War when they just wanted America-senpai to notice them
The Finns never got over the Battle of Neva
What’s his email? torvalds@osdl.org fails for me
I don’t care if it’s pointless I already wrote a rant out and I’m damn well sending it as soon as I find an address to use.
He uses torvalds@linux-foundation.org to commit to github
Cheers. Told him his rhetoric about russians all being from a troll farm is indistinguishable to IDF rhetoric that Palestinians are all Hamas, among other things I had a rant about.
“Russian troll factories”
Linus, no!
The funny linux man is a chud…it’s like liberal me learning the truth about Elon Musk all over again.
- “If the Russian maintainers meet the compliance requirements then they’ll be back in”
- “What are the compliance requirements?”
- “My lawyers have told me not to say.”
Good job Mr. Torvalds, you are the master of being subtle. Not even RMS would do this and that’s the biggest F-you I can give Torvalds.actually what he said was “lawyers” told him not to say. Which I read as quite vague… just some lawyers. Could have been lawyers acting on anybody’s behalf, not necessarily “his”. Maybe he got some sort of demand letter from a right wing dark money law firm. There was such an organization making interventions into linux a while ago.
It sounds to me like he may have been approached by somebody or gotten a legal notice and then enthusiastically complied with it. Either way not surprised to see Linus say dumb shit, he’s been doing it for decades.
I’ve hated Torvalds ever since I experienced Git. Now I feel vindicated
Mercurial fan?
I just remember getting impenetrable error messages. Git is so goddamn confusing
