I have a Hearthstone package on NPM which gets a few downloads everyday (also from China). Yesterday I removed everything in it and now module.exports is „光復香港 時代革命“ instead of Hearthstone data.

- edejong 7y agoPerhaps you want to rebase your changes to the root of your Git repo (in other words, remove history). Now people can just check out the HEAD^ commit.
- hkai 7y agoI don't like using GitHub for politics.
- wickedsickeune 7y agoHow is this politics. This is a stand against a tyrant, this has nothing to do with political opinions. As a human being you have an obligation to stand against tyrants, nothing political about that.
- mwyah 7y agoI'd argue that this is completely and absolutely political. Just deciding that this guy is a tyrant is political.
- Isinlor 7y agoNot doing anything is also political. Everything is political in social context.
- wickedsickeune 7y agoMaybe you are right. In my mind you have to do something when you see blatant injustice, so it is justified. If you say that what I judge as unjust is political, then fair enough, it may very well be.
- austhrow743 7y agoTaking a stance on a governing bodies actions is clearly politics. In what way could it possibly not?
- wickedsickeune 7y agoAs an example, if your government instructed you to separate parents from their child, you could refuse, without any political motivations. If you consider this a difference of opinion between the government and you, then yes, it may be political. In my view core values are not political, because you can't argue for and against them.
- austhrow743 7y agoCore values values applied to governance decisions is exactly what a political stance is. Refusing to obey that order from your government is a political decision.
- thrax 7y agoI don't like you politicizing how people choose to use GitHub.
- manicdee 7y agoEverything is politics. Your decision to try ignoring politics is quiet assent to the status quo, which is the politics of least resistance. Your protest against someone taking a stand against authoritarian rule is itself politics. Your decision to use one licence over another when using or publishing software is politics. Everything is politics, because everything that involves more than one person is politics and the decision to do something without other people is politics. Everyrhing is politics, but politics isn’t everything.
- z3phyr 7y agoEverything you do is directly or indirectly part of politics. Your action and inaction both.
- hkai 7y agoNot really. Perhaps for people that could be true, but not for businesses. As a business, you absolutely don't have to declare your stand on the political issues in your country, let alone issues in some places half way across the world. And especially declare your stand when you're not asked.
- Fnoord 7y agoAs a business, if you don't declare your stance on a political issue, you declare you agree with whatever the status quo is. Hacking culture and politics are deeply entwined. Phreaking, for example, was a way to say no to AT&T monopoly.
