Once again, I find myself begging FOSS folks to recognize that open source is, by construction, a political movement. The onus is thus on us to make sure that our politics are in keeping with our actual values.
We cannot, especially during a global resurgence of fascism, act like it's possible to be apolitical.
@xgranade It must be pure coincidence that all the successful people who advocate for apoliticalness end up as assholes and fascists later on, for some reason.
@mayintoronto @xgranade The thing is that women and girls and gays and transgender folk are political by our very existence. No laws are put in place with regards to male healthcare, etc. When a girl/woman is raped, she is presumed to be a liar until a court says otherwise. Etc.
So being apolitical is a position of immense privilege, ignoring the world's reality.
