Eeh, hasn't the CCC always been political? Normally the Congress is this time of year and because of covid uncertainty they did a distributed loosely coordinated talks and meetups thing. This might be the difference you observe, but in germany the CCC has, as far as I am aware, always been a melting pot of ideas and views, predominantly humanistic, for anonymity, against fascism, against authoritarianism and for responsibility and accepting of difference. This might be a contrast to the us hacker scene which I feel is more in the libertarian and conservative corner, but these are all broad generalisations.
