When you say “we will / won’t be political”, you’re lumping together minor irrelevant dramas (like Depp vs Heard or Lia Thomas) and things which will directly, seriously affect you. You literally cannot stand on the sidelines when your political adversaries are pointing their guns at you. Putin’s war is directly affecting any Rust members in Ukraine and Russia, and screwing everyone else by hurting the economy. I’m glad Rust has publicly explicitly supported Ukraine because I really support them and there’s not much of a cost to saying something. That being said, OP sounds like an drama queen and allegedly has his own problems. At best, this isn’t something we should hate on random Rust community members for. This kind of exaggeration isolates the Russians who support Ukraine, who I consider to be allies, and those who are undecided, who I think are still worth trying to persuade.
