lmao what kind of zinger is that

If I’m saying this, and the founders and mainters of the Linux Kernel agree, it really seems like I’m not wrong here.

Believe or not both you and Linus Torvalds can be wrong. Shocking, I know. I don’t know how you’ll break the news to your loved ones.

Might be time reevaluate some stuff.

Yes, like you contradicting your entire previous comment and then continuing on like nothing happened.

Linus is just following the law, the law != doing the right thing.

Russia is committing a genocide. By definition.

Of course it is not. By definition. Russia is conducting a conventional war and with far less indiscriminate bombing than typical Western “interventions”. But it would be amazing to see your logic and then try to apply it consistently.

And invasion.

Like that of Gaza? Lebanon? Syria? Iraq? Afghanistan? Haiti? Are you consistent in your hate?

And mass rape.

There is no evidence of systemic mass rape by Russia in Ukraine.

And a huge litany of human rights abuses.

Well yes that is definitely true. But again, are you consistent in your hate? Because if the object is human rights abuses Russia is nowhere near the top.

I don’t care for your whataboutism (a common soviet tactic, interesting).

Inconsistency in pursuit of chauvinism is so common that one must regularly try to reorient the confused and biased framings. If you have this much vitriol for Russia and thr people in it despite other countries doing more and worse why do you not hate those countries and everyone in them just as much? It more?

It reveals that, despite the pretenses and rhetoric, none of that really matters to you. It is just an excuse for getting to be chauvinist.

I think you are confused. Being against the genocide of Gaza is not a MAGA thing.

They keep bringing up how small the protests were and how they “ran out of steam” or w/e. It really shows how little they actually know about the US.

Fediserve is US centric platform, nobody going to be saying fuck America.

You should be if you respect your own thoughts that you are sharing.

Really, you are tacitly aknowledging what this really is: national chauvinism and Russophobia. Liberals taking their opportunity to be racist and xenophobic without being singled out as problematic.

However, the sentiment here is pretty strong against the current situation both socio-economics wise and support for Israel…

It is below the bare minimum, it is just slightly less jingoistic than in spaces curated by monopolies and staffed with literal feds. Pro-genocide discourse is strong here, it just hides behind electoralism discourse and feigned reluctance.

I don’ think this a mainstream opinion quite there yet but people getting wiser on these issues.

It won’t be a mainstream opinion in US-centric spaces without political education of such people.

I meant decent part of US population did not larp ME wars in early 2000s.

It was a very small part of it, really. Liberals rewrote their histories about their support for wars of aggression against Iraq and Afghanistan. They pretend to have been against it when they were actually part of their version of the “silent majority” and rampant islamophobia. The protests rapidly ran out of steam as Americans don’t even know how to fight against their state.
