I love the proliferation of these "there is too much american politics discussion in linux community :sob: why are u guys so political" posts online XD

My brother in christ have u ever seen RMS speak???

This was never 'apolitical' lmao.

The open source movement has always had a pretty well defined ideology, young people just forget cuz all they hear now is the corporate spin...

Freedom, the ability for anyone to use the software as they wish, the desire to share and collaborate with others, the beleif in the power of collaboration... Do these things not say a lot, about how these devs would prefer the world to work?

Did you know Kim Jung Un was a l33t coder?

Preach!

ye I thought open source was about anarchy

now they're monarchy of corporate shilling

weren't they hackers originally also?

@antigermgerm his hacks are legendary in crypto. north Korea #1 crypto hacker

The terminology itself is philosophically if not also politically loaded, given that { "free software" != "open source" };

Furthermore, one may think of the idealistic **LIBRE** as outright digital communism. Thus, making a conscious attempt to distance oneself from it, even if solely for economic reasons rather than ideological, has an inherent political baggage; essentially, it constitutes a statement.

Perhaps it is the mere fact of existence which begets thinking, that in turn and by it's very nature makes the individual possess of some from of ideology. And I phrase this bit as a suggestion -- rather than the assertion of truth that it is -- entirely as a sophisticated manifestation of disrespect.

In summary, and to answer the question posed within the type of post being parodied, everything is "so political" by necessity of being.

PS: Walruses.

@Liebranca Can't beat a good walrus.

There's not too much politics. There's too much americans.

Oh no, please don't start with the retarded "everything is political" shit

It's nothing more than an excuse to push your own ideology down everybody's throat

Apart from politics, there is too much "American" in most software and applied computer science.
