Yeah, and see how you want to help them to fight against Putin - you block their access to GitHub to make them lose their jobs. Without the money - do you think they will go fight on the streets? No, they will look for other ways to feed their families. If they are isolated, they will have no other choice than start working on government.
By action like this, you are just turning into enemies those who want to be on your side.
- nickpp 5y agoI totally sympathize and agree it doesn't sound fair but you will see more and more embargos and boycotts directed at Russia and Russians the more this Ukrainian murderous invasion continues...
- EugeneOZ 5y agoI do not think you “sympathize”, I’m reading through your lines that you are quite enjoying it. I’m not in Russia, it will not affect me, so don't be so excited. But such hostile nationalistic behavior will be remembered, and not only by me. You have all the reasons to hate Putin - I hate him too. But if you are saying (literally or not) that you just hate Russians - feelings will quickly become mutual.
- nickpp 5y agoYou are reading wrong: I am in Eastern Europe and I have Russians ancestry so hating Russians would mean hating myself. I can't do much really and I am just wondering here how we can solve this mess...
