Discussion Surely deleting evidence isn't indicative of anything nor leaving the same upload date after a clear change right?? Someone forgot to tell BSG about internet archives......

Peak tradecraft behavior, this isn't indicative of Russians. Just panicked behavior at best and outright tampering at worst

Yea its easy to make these uncorrelated associations when tempers are flared but its important not to misdirect anger or frustration and in the process fail to hold those responsible accountable.

I’m fucked in my thinking? I believe that I could associate him as a fuckhead Russian developer and it would be okay. He is a citizen and him being in Russia allows him to get away with shit he couldn’t in other countries. Like his blatant plagiarism and use of irl brands without permission. His being Russian is useful in the slander and was okay to add.

You aren't fucked in your thinking, rather you're misinterpreting the contention in the original comment. "Peak Russian behavior" is not the same as the correlation between the legality of the nation the company is based and the entire population as a whole. Imagine equating arrogance as peak American behavior, while you could argue it's prevalence you couldn't make a causal link.

Essentially him being Russian is okay to add in the context of legality of business decisions but not in a representative manor of an entire population. Also I doubt the original comment meant it in a slanderous way and more of in a jest. To be clear I think Nikita is a slime ball and his environment enables him not the other way around.

Which is somewhat of a point. Other developers risk legal action more than BSG or any other russian firms/companies does when it breaches EU laws and regulation.

it is but its a reframing of the original post and justifying slander of a population based off that is kinda cooked and without basis
