I didn't say tech couldn't relate to politics, nor do I wish to hang out with racists. I implied that not all people would care to waste their time in the company of no-platformers. Disinterest is a perfectly reasonable position to take when faced with the proposition of hanging out with people with wildly different political beliefs than yourself. The idea that some people might dislike no platforming almost as much as they dislike racism shouldn't surprise you. It's not safe to support organisations that choose whether to platform based on the whims of a mob or their leaders.
