Open source has become a safe harbor for far-right politics, from David Heinemeier Hansson's white-nationalist rhetoric and the Omarchy Foundation's $12 million in patron funding to so-called apolitical projects that treat marginalized contributors as political, and why a united boycott of complicit tech companies is our only way forward.

    I think the issue here is that 12 million has been donated to a fascist, not just that some people use said fascist’s software.

    I agree. It’s an issue that some right wing foundation got 12 million dollars. It’s a political issue. The fact that some people use some free software is not an issue at all. What I was talking about is people mixing those two things, exactly like you did in this sentence. I wrote more about in a comment below so I’m not going to repeat it here.
