    Lol sanctions and racism are different. My argument about relocating destroys yours.

      So your argument is that Linux foundation should relocate to… where? Sorry that was such a bad argument that I did not even consider it being one.

      Why would they relocate? To keep a few Russian maintainers? Because not relocating is “racist”? Not sure what you mean, just trying to guess.

        Somewhere stable and neutral like Switzerland or some island. I’m not a lawyer so can’t say which country is the best for it.

        To some extent, yes.

          Switzerland is currently sanctioning Russia. Let me say that again to be clear: moving to Switzerland, the most neutral country in the world, will not prevent you from having to abide by sanctions against Russia.

          “Russian” is not a race. And Finland has a history with Russia that isn’t easily forgotten. That is to say, every Finn I’ve spoken to hates Russia for invading Finland… Twice…

          Finland isn’t even the only neighbour that hates Russia. At some point one has to wonder why so many of Russia’s neighbours hate, or at the very least don’t feel comfortable with, Russia.

          Maybe, just maybe, the reason why everyone is having issues with Russia is Russia’s own damn fault.

            That’s true but nowadays the word “racism” is used as a full synonym to “discrimination”.

            Maybe, just maybe, the reason why everyone is having issues with Russia is Russia’s own damn fault.

            A person who thinks that the terms “Russia” and “a Russian citizen” are the same is hopeless and must be eliminated at all costs.

              No, let’s not degrade language like that.

              And “eliminated at all costs”? Sounds exactly the kind of thinking that leads to getting shut out and cut ties. Good riddance.

              It’s ok to discriminate against a nation for waging war. Should be done to any nation. Including Israel, etc.

                I get it and do it myself against the USA. But there are always people in these countries who disagree. That’s why blind discrimination is bad and cannot be good by definition.
