@tyil no, this is also political. If for financial reasons, then the morality is rooted in the politics of capitalism.
> "How am I furthering my political agenda with the subroutine config()?"You are exercising your right to share code and to use code shared with you. You are not charging money for it, so your politics and morality clearly agrees with the idea that code for its own sake is an inherent good. That is how it is political.
> "if you argue everything is always political in nature, there's no meaning in raising the point this particular thing is political in nature."This is not why I argue that everything has politics involved. We can avoid talk of politics when everyone is in agreement, but that does not make a thing apolitical. But when someone disagrees with the status quo (the politics that no one talks about, the politics that everyone else agrees with), then that person who voices their disagreement is often accused of "bringing politics into the discussion."
And this can be very mean spirited, I think. People should be allowed to voice political disagreement without being attacked for "making things political."
