That's quite a misrepresentation of his statements.
"I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be supporting Russian aggression..." is certainly not about grievance. As a matter of fact, the russian aggression is real and not about finish historical grievances.
Open source is fostering collaborative environments, while russia as a state is destroying them deliberately. How does that fit together?

There has never been an "unprovoked aggression against Yugoslavia". More than 130K people were killed and 4 million displaced (mainly by Serb troops) and people begged for an intervention, which came to late (think about Sarajevo, Srebrenica).
It doesn't fit your narrative.

Did you just realized that Torvald is not racist or anti-russian at all?
He didn't block any russian maintainers until today (more than 2 years after russia turning genocidal imperial again).

I just put your "demonizing people because of their home nation" into perspective, dude. Staying in russia as a kernel maintainer and playing the political ignorant is just lost.

You missed the point, he didn't mention history in general, but specifically "Finnish history".
In this respect it's not about British colonialism but more about about Russian imperialism / Stalinism (see Russo-Finnish war 1939).

Nearly 1 million Russians left Russia because they didn't want to end as ghouls in an imperial war, that's demonizing AND killing people because of their home nation.

> Black markets are markets that break existing legislation, not markets that are free from legislation.
Your statement "black markets are not markets without legislation" logically implies such existence. I regard legislation as a governmental act and in my opinion you stretched its meaning to an informal agreement between market participants.
But, if you meant legislation as some kind of unwritten law, that breaks state laws, i would fully agree.
Re:Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes

That would imply the existence of legal "black markets".

I would not overemphasize the cultural differences between the Balkan people and call Yugoslavia a super state. The history of the people there is intertwined and national divisions are very much superimposed by ideologists.
