Most of the anger (including mine) comes from people who have just realized what kind of a person Linus is. He has exposed his lack of morals and inability of self reflection with the trolls comment. He has exposed his ignorance, coming from his state media brainwashing, with the media comment. He has exposed his ignorance, arrogance and blatant Russophobia with his "I'm Finish" comment, as if Finland has any high moral ground when it comes to WWII (for the historically ignorant: Finnish "concentration camps"). And this is not over, there are plenty of other countries and entities on the official USA enemies list. The real majority of the world, all of us outside the USA and their vassal states, their so called "free world" (one maintainer actually used that blatant display of American supremacy in a commit removing Huawei maintainers) are looking at this with sadness and anger. The Cold War 2.0 has came to the Linux world and as in the first one, the Iron curtain has been erected by those that claim moral high ground with their false values of freedom, openes, merit etc.
