comrade linus 🫡🫡
but also he’s finnish, which is communist, so he’s obviously a communist smh 🤷♀️
Mommmmmm, linus is doing a communism!!!
He’s not Finnish, he’s a Swede from Finland. Please attribute the nationality correctly.EDIT: He’s actually a Swedish-speaking Finnish guy, mea culpa.
Torvalds is Finnish by nationality, he just speaks Swedish as his mother tongue. That’s not uncommon in Finland.
@teemuki @raubarno
In Finland they have bilingual street signs. Where the majority is Finnish-speaking, the signs are in Finnish first and then in Swedish. And in places where the majority is Swedish-speaking they have signs in Swedish first, then in Finnish.
To the best of my understanding cultural “!identity” is nort relevant at all there, and nobody really cares.
This is the internet we only care about only the most trivial of things
I’m sorry but that’s just nonsense. Finland had one of the strongest communist movements in Western Europe during the cold war. Large swaths of Finns happily voted for communists in elections for decades.
@teemuki @raubarno So did large swaths of Italians, Greeks, French, Dutch and Spanish in the 70s
I might add that Linus’ father Nils Torvalds was a card carrying member of the Finnish Communist Party in the 1970s.
I don’t know if you joke or not, but thinking finnish = communist is too far away from any truth. I lived and still live in an ex-communist country and let me tell you: nothing Linus says or does is communist in any way. Socialist? Maybe! But that’s a different discussion.
it’s a joke 😉
Thank Joulupukki for that. Phew. :D
LOL.
@juergen @k_o_t A paranoic fascist here.
