This recent trend toward intermingling technology with social activism really scares me. Whether it be slapping a code of conduct on every project under the sun or refusing to support a browser because of some loose affiliation with an disagreeable individual, this has really reached an unhealthy level of coupling as of late. Most fields of study or work at least embrace the need to keep the commons apolitical since progress ( as in human progress ) depends on our ability to cooperate, interact, and share work regardless of the issues that divide us. I particularly agree with your choice of words, this mentality is just plain reckless.
