Basic empathy would be not bullying, terrorizing and detailing anyone who isn't white, nor supporting such vile behavior.

I think the point being made may have passed you by.

It really is true. OpenBSD focuses on auditing. In many cases they were not affected because of mitigations, but because they were just using a different stack. OpenBSD wasn't affected by regreSSHion for example, for basically the same
