What would you say if you were in Russia? Would you publicly pour out your complete thoughts, whatever they may be, in a popular blog post with your name signed underneath? With an unfunded OSS project, a family to support and criminal history? Don't forget, you can't just "say stuff" in most corners of the world.

If you don't support the war and afraid to express your opinion, you can just remain silent and don't say that "both sides are equally bad". This kind is rhetoric is exactly what Russian war supporters use.

  His comments were in response to an issue opened in the repo, it's not like he went out of his way to bring the problem up. If you take concern with him speaking with his family's best interests in mind (especially the "indoctrination" he is concerned about for his child), then stop using core-js.

It looks like Denis is actually supporting russian government and their lies about this war - https://twitter.com/roman01la/status/1625254253156528147 https://twitter.com/roman01la/status/1625254253156528147 . He literally spreads russian propaganda points and blames Ukraine for being attacked.

  I understand that his perspective is not consonant with Western views and that he does place some blame on Ukraine, but he literally says "I'm against war. I'm against the current Russian government." which I hardly think is fair to represent as supporting the Russian government and the war!

    Yeah, he is against war and government because it affects his personal income and wellbeing, not because of tens of thousands of civilians killed.

1. Return to Russia because things are cheaper so you will have more money, nevermind the whole war crimes and genocide thing 2. Russia puts you in prison, you dont get a fair trial and you don't have freedom of speech 3. No profit
