The country that Linux is domiciled in currently (US), has slave labor camps:

The US currently operates a system of slave labor camps, including at least 54 prison farms involved in agricultural slave labor. Outside of agricultural slavery, Federal Prison Industries operates a multi-billion dollar industry with ~ 52 prison factories , where prisoners produce furniture, clothing, circuit boards, products for the military, computer aided design services, call center support for private companies. 1, 2, 3

It also has the highest prisoner population in the world both by capita and total.

Russia's prison rates don't even come close to the majority of US states, including even California.

Yeah, the USA is shit, in a lot of ways. And it's steering towards being like russia. Still, russia is worse in terms of overall human rights.

Russia would need a hundred years more of existence to even come close to the amount of atrocities the US has and continues to commit.
