From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Being obediet dogs like germans during nazi regime.
Nearly all citizens are obedient to their countries. Why single out Russians?
Because Russia has invaded another country and is currently committing a genocide. Christ 🤦♀️
Russia is not committing a genocide. However, the US and Israel are have been invading Lebanon and Syria.
Do you support removing all Americans from the maintainer lost? Can I get a "Fuck America"?
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.
Like that of Gaza? Lebanon? Syria? Iraq? Afghanistan? Haiti? Are you consistent in your hate?
There is no evidence of systemic mass rape by Russia in Ukraine.
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.
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.
Get that homophobia outbof here
