People think that problems shouldn’t exist, and that the authorities should have fixed it, and it’s killing their motivation to live.

There is no authority. There is how you want to live your life, and who you want to be. We are in the anarchy. You live your live according to your principles, and that works for you or doesn’t. We all want and can sometimes even have a nice situation, but underneath it, nature is metal - and we haven’t “grown out of it”.

That’s the joke.

Glad to see someone was looking for a bumb fuck and got one. Life is good, sometimes.

Thanks for your explanation, here’s a fish:

Well said.

Absolutely.

All fair.

I prefer pots, tbh.

Sovereignty is the deeper moral right. It is any sovereign individual or group’s right to accept or reject an authority they choose to, and they must deal with the consequences of that (often implicit) choice.

A sovereign entity who is by choice or otherwise subject to a malign power will become a channel for that malign power, regardless of whether or not they intend to. And even when there is no malign intent, there can be fundamental disagreements between sovereign states.

It is very possible the individuals don’t support Russia. But aside from aiding and supporting defection, there’s not much we can do until Russia demonstrates a will to relinquish a hold on Ukraine, who has clearly demonstrated their sovereignty.

There are points of power (like code run all over the world) that are desirable targets for malicious actors.

So, those who are subject to a malicious foreign power, whether they are innocent or not, because they are subject to a power that is not innocent.

We don’t need to attack those people, but we need to deny the Russian state the capacity to affect those points of power where we can. They claim Russian citizenry, and so they are impacted by Russia’s choices, and the international responses to Russia’s actions.

There will always be something to pick at, and with the number of trolls on here to inflame and manipulate any legitimate concerns, i highly suspect the troll farms and related pawns would find something to bitch about.

The fact is, not everyone has the EQ to state the issue perfectly clearly in terms everyone can accept.

“No, do you really expect me to look past what Russia is doing? Absolutely fucking no,” is basically reasonable.

Wisely.

I mean, do you? This is a violation by Russia of another sovereign state. Thus, everyone in Russia is affected by the consequences of that action.

The Russian kernel coders, no matter their innocence, are subjects of a nation that can compel them to misbehave.

Now, if they were leaving Russia and defecting, that’s another matter, where they are pulling their individual sovereignty away from the Russian state.

So your advice is basically “come on, guys, you can resist russian aggression in ways that don’t involve conflict, stop the sanctions and side with Russia pls”?

No. As the instigator of this conflict, Russia can back the fuck down.

Sanctions have effect precisely because they are a broad tool.

Sorry that was such a bad argument that I did not even consider it being one.

Savage truth.

Then other countries should make sanctions on the US where it masters to them to do so.

He followed legal advice from lawyers and removed some russians from being kernel maintainers to comply with sanctions.

Ooh, best…
