This. Keep your dumb politics aside and just discuss the code. For anything else, human rights. On top of this, 90% of these people are spoiled kids who never had to fight about free (as in freedom) systems working, they just created senseless forks (AKA glimpse). In the 90's and early 00's, no one gave a crap on your ethnics/race/sex/gender or whatever. Over IRC and XMPP not everyone embraced a videoconference or even worse, gave personal info. Everyone helped each other by putting every difference aside, even from polar political sides. Propietary software, goverment+corporate control, tecnological siloes... these were far worse for the current and real life events than the outdated political fights from the 19th centry full of Romantic historicism on every side, no matter what (Adam Smith, Marx...).
