    This whole discussion exists because the USA aren’t a free country either, or else the US-based Linux Foundation would not have to act like it does, I thought?

      This discussion exists because dumbass Russian apologists won’t shut up about it

      I encourage you to google the paradox of tolerance, because you sound like a Fox News propagandist saying ‘so much for the tolerant left am I right?’

      Russia made its bed. The response from the US is exactly that - a response. Even the most tolerant society will HAVE TO be intolerant towards intolerance in order to exist.

      You can understand this or not, I really don’t care. But at least someone attempted to explain to you why you’re getting buried in downvotes.

        I’m old enough and have been on the internet long enough not to judge the value of my statements by how many thumbs up they get. With regard to global politics, however, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to exchange arguments, and I find it regrettable that many people seem to think that pressing voting symbols is enough of an argument.

          This isn’t an argument or even a discussion. You’re just beating a dead horse and the rest of us are sick of seeing it.
