Agreed. It seems like some people just want to shoehorn politics into everything. Like people who start complaining about branch names (master vs main), gendering or non-gendering words, arguing about mascots, insisting their code of conduct be implemented, or whatever else.
I'm sure there's an appropriate meme for it.

Everything a person does is always considered politics to someone else, whether you like it or not. Choosing NOT to change your branch names etc. is itself considered a political position to many.
Yes. The meme is the belief that societies divide neatly into "political' and "non-political" systems. Those carrying the meme often find themselves confused as to why there are "political" aspects to the "non-political" systems that they interact with and rely upon. An easy temporary antidote to disrupt this meme: Politics is merely the discussion required to establish or change policies; the non-political systems are those which have no policies whatsoever, which are the systems that aren't managed by humans. All human systems are political.
Sometimes people get to learn that politics is in everything managed by humans the hard way, I recommend against it
Am I the only one that finds it ironic to say all of that then include a license for your comment?
