SELinux from NSA is evil. Got it.

I don't think that's what they were saying, but I don't think you're making that point in good faith either.

What are you even trying to say or suggest here?

It is appling the the same standard

Russia -> FSB -> operated by Russian -> contributing to Linux -> Bad
USA -> NSA -> operated by Americans -> authored SELinux -> Bad

Should this logic work? Hell no. It's simply prejudice that against any nationals that they have ill intent of doing something because their country do something bad. Just like a child can't choose their parents, a citizen can't choose their nation at born.

The wrench attack argument can be applied to any nationals too, by anyone.
