That is a Left wing take, which often is used to justify injecting

What the hell does that mean?
 

People who decide that the project must be political, ARE Left
leaning, and using the "Everything is political" as a wedge to
insert their politics.

Therefore you are the one trying to use this as a wedge to insert your
particular brand of politics into the discussion. QED.

 
I didn't claim you did, and I have not inserted any politics in this.
 
Your statement is nonsensical.  The people responsible for bringing
politics into organisations, are those that bring it in.  It starts with
the claim that the situation they put themselves in, is 'political'.
 
If Christian Nationalists join the GNU project, and start to inject
religion and virtue, is the person who is "bringing religion into the
discussion" the one making the observation this is happening?
 
 
Come on...

Yes, its a tired tactic and I know it all too well.
 
Esentually you "lead" the culture, and be the first to make accusations.
You always assume your position is 'default', and any objection is
someone trying to be political.
 
Push fringe ideas, and accuse others of being obssessed with it if they object.
 

It is also a classic method of trying to stop/halt any further debate
on the subject that those in power don't want to engage in.  Accuse the
initiator of some form of "wrong" (of whichever flavor is in fashion at
the time) and the ones in control can now feel self-allowed to close
off the debate.
